One time I grieved; I shivered as in fright At cold words spoke by love's usurpéd right. To me all trembling, spake the faithful Night: "Why grieve that Love in ardor spake so stern; The purest flame may in its white heat burn; Not in your wrath, God's noblest blessing spurn." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONOMA FIRE by JANE HIRSHFIELD AS THE SPARKS FLY UPWARDS by JOHN HOLLANDER WHAT GREAT GRIEF HAS MADE THE EMPRESS MUTE by JUNE JORDAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 19 by JAMES JOYCE DIRGE AT THE END OF THE WOODS by LEONIE ADAMS 87 CASA GRANDE by AMELIA WOODWARD TRUESDELL |
