ONE TO LOVE, by ALFRED ISLAY WALDEN Poet's Biography First Line: Oh, where's the maid that I can love Last Line: But I'd be satisfied with one. Subject(s): Mormons | ||||||||
Oh, where's the maid that I can love, With love which I have never told? Where is the one that I would like To comfort me when I am old? Do I not see before my face, A mate prepared for every one? Then sure there's one prepared for me, Nor need I trudge the road alone. Now who is he that speaks to me Of Mormons and of Mormonhood? While this you know, the Lord has said, They twain shall be one flesh, one blood! Come listen, then, to what I say Before this evening's work is done, That you can do as you may please, But I'd be satisfied with one. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FLOATING MORMON by KAREN SWENSON THE FARM ON THE GREAT PLAINS by WILLIAM EDGAR STAFFORD THE MORMON TRIAL; ELDER SAUL'S STORY by DANIEL MACINTYRE HENDERSON SONG OF THE AIRWAY by DAWSON POWELL THE WIND-BOUND MISSION by CHARLES TENNYSON TURNER I WILL ONE DAY BE A WIDOW, LOVE by PENNY ALLEN WORLD WAS UNPERFECTED TILL MADE FLESH by PENNY ALLEN DEDICATED TO A YOUNG LADY REPRESENTING THE INDIAN RACE AT HOWARD UNIV by ALFRED ISLAY WALDEN |
