FLOWER-PIECES: 2. LOVE IN A MIST, by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Light love in a mist, by the midsummer moon misguided Last Line: Light love in a mist. Subject(s): Roundels | ||||||||
Light love in a mist, by the midsummer moon misguided, Scarce seen in the twilight garden if gloom insist, Seems vainly to seek for a star whose gleam has derided Light love in a mist. All day in the sun, when the breezes do all they list, His soft blue raiment of cloudlike blossom abided Unrent and unwithered of winds and of rays that kissed. Blithe-hearted or sad, as the cloud or the sun subsided, Love smiled in the flower with a meaning whereof none wist Save two that beheld, as a gleam that before them glided, Light love in a mist. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ROUNDELS OF THE YEAR by JOHN DRINKWATER RONDEL OF A RONDEL by AUSTIN PHILIPS A ROUNDEL SEEMS TO FIT A ROUND OF DAYS by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A BABY'S DEATH by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE A DIALOGUE: 1. by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE A DIALOGUE: 2. by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE A DIALOGUE: 3. by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE A FLOWER-PIECE BY FANTIN by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE A LANDSCAPE BY COURBET by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE A BALLAD OF DEATH by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE |
