O FORTUNATE FIELDS THROUGH WHICH MADONNA GOES, by PETRARCH Poet's Biography Last Line: That is not kindled with my passionate pains Alternate Author Name(s): Petrarca, Francesco Subject(s): Beauty | ||||||||
O fortunate fields through which Madonna goes, And you, O happy, happy flowers and sweet, O upland who her gentle accent knows And bears the dainty imprint of her feet, O saplings lithe and early, verdant sprays, O love-lorn violets pale, O forest dim Which beauty's sun hath pierced with his rays And drawn in proud florescence unto him; O limpid stream that laves her lovely face, Her luminous eyes, and doth their radiance share, O primrose path, I envy you the grace Of tender, loyal servitude you bear! That is not kindled with my passionate pains. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN DIVINELY SUPERFLUOUS BEAUTY by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE BEAUTY OF THINGS by ROBINSON JEFFERS HOPE IS NOT FOR THE WISE by ROBINSON JEFFERS LIFE FROM THE LIFELESS by ROBINSON JEFFERS REARMAMENT by ROBINSON JEFFERS SHANE ONEILLS CAIRN by ROBINSON JEFFERS SONNETS TO LAURA IN LIFE: 109 by PETRARCH |
