CIRCLES OF AFFINITY, by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE First Line: Sing hey! For the fields of old romance Last Line: And a heart that is worth the wooing. Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles Subject(s): Love; Romance | ||||||||
I SING hey! for the fields of old Romance And a life that is truly living. Sing ho! for the eyes that round us glance And a kiss that is worth the giving. II Love is a circle, so men say, And circle in circle twining Advances a spark from the wheel of day That will last till the sun's declining. III Should circle in circle coalesce, The joy of that close communion Is the innermost heart of the hours that bless The rapture of earthly union. IV But circle so seldom its circle meets, Or the segments so slightly cover, That rarely, oh rarely, the circle greets The soul of its heart's true lover! V With Space for a circle, the Stars and Time Are all in their orbits moving, Each swinging in circuit so sublime That the Godhead needs no proving. VI Then hey! for the fields of old Romance, The soul of our soul pursuing; And ho! for the eyes that round us glance And a heart that is worth the wooing. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ZOOMING; FOR TOM RAWORTH by ANSELM HOLLO ROMANCE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON A MADE-FOR-TV ROMANCE by PETER JOHNSON CONFUSION OF THE SENSES by KENNETH REXROTH HIGH PROVENCE by KENNETH REXROTH THE LOVE POEMS OF MARICHIKO: 12 by KENNETH REXROTH THE LOVE POEMS OF MARICHIKO: 23 by KENNETH REXROTH A DULL DAY IN SEPTEMBER by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE |
