MY SAXON BLONDE, by JOHN GODFREY SAXE Poet's Biography First Line: They say the dark-eyed maids of spain Last Line: My love is a golden blonde! Subject(s): Blondes; Love | |||
THEY say the dark-eyed maids of Spain Are passionate and fond; But eyes of blue are tender and true, -- Give me my Saxon blonde! An arch coquette is the bright brunette, Blithe and merry and gay; Her love may last till the Summer is past, But my blonde's forever and aye! If bards of old the truth have told, The Sirens have raven hair; But o'er the earth, since art had birth, They paint the Angels fair. Ah! well, maybe, the truth to see, A lover is over fond; And I can't deny -- nor will I try -- My love is a golden blonde! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD DEATH AND CUPID; AN ALLEGORY by JOHN GODFREY SAXE |
