A BASHFUL LOVER, by ROYALL TYLER Poet's Biography First Line: Away the changing seasons roll Last Line: Tis sympathy. Alternate Author Name(s): Old Simon; S. Subject(s): Love | |||
AWAY the changing seasons roll, Louisa still has all my soul, And still in torturing doubt I rove; And dare not know if fortune frown, Or if the bliss be mine to own Louisa's love. When, as the airy dance we twine, Her rosy fingers mix with mine, A wild emotion thrills my frame But oh what transports fill my mind, When by her trembling touch I find She feels the same. To banquet on her heavenly bloom With steadfast gaze, I ne'er presume, But fearful steal a side-long view, And oft, o'erwhelm'd with glad surprise, Bent on my face, I meet her eyes Of liquid blue. Confus'd we quickly look away, And seem with careless thoughts to stray, But strive to rule our eyes in vain; The truants ever turn askance, Until with sudden, timid glance, They meet again. Oh, to the winds thy sorrows give, No more in doubt, Rosario, live, But trust who sweetly whispers thee; 'Thou sighest for Louisa's arms, As soft a wish her bosom warms, 'Tis sympathy. | 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 |
