AMORETTI: 81, by EDMUND SPENSER Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Fair is my love when her fair golden hairs Last Line: But this the worke of harts astonishment. Alternate Author Name(s): Clout, Colin Subject(s): Beauty | ||||||||
Fayre is my love, when her fayre golden heares With the loose wynd ye waving chance to marke: Fayre, when the rose in her red cheekes appeares, Or in her eyes the fyre of love does sparke: Fayre, when her brest, lyke a rich laden barke With pretious merchandize, she forth doth lay: Fayre, when that cloud of pryde, which oft doth dark Her goodly light, with smiles she drives away. But fayrest she, when so she doth display The gate with pearles and rubyes richly dight, Throgh which her words so wise do make their way, To beare the message of her gentle spright. The rest be works of Natures wonderment, But this the worke of harts astonishment. | 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 |
