IN THE DAY OF HIS ESPOUSALS, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: That song of songs which is solomon's
Last Line: That song of songs.
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina


THAT Song of Songs which is Solomon's
Sinks and rises, and loves and longs,
Thro' temperate zones and torrid zones,
That Song of Songs.

Fair its floating moon with her prongs:
Love is laid for its paving stones:
Right it sings without thought of wrongs.

Doves it hath with music of moans,
Queens in throngs and damsels in throngs,
High tones and mysterious undertones,
That Song of Songs.
