TO A LADY SINGING, by EDMUND WALLER Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: While I listen to thy voice Last Line: Is that they sing, and that they love. Subject(s): Love; Singing & Singers | ||||||||
WHILE I listen to thy voice, Chloris, I feel my life decay, That powerful noise Calls my fleeting soul away; O suppress that magic sound, Which destroys without a wound. Peace, peace, Chloris, peace, Or singing die, That together thou and I To Heaven may go; For all we know Of what the Blessèd do above, Is that they sing, and that they love. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE APOLLO TRIO by CONRAD AIKEN BAD GIRL SINGING by MARK JARMAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 4 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 5 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE THE SONG OF THE NIGHTINGALE IS LIKE THE SCENT OF SYRINGA by MINA LOY OF A FAIR LADY PLAYING WITH A SNAKE by EDMUND WALLER |
