UNDINE: KUHLEBORN'S SONG, by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE First Line: Blow, winds! And war, ye waters! Last Line: Undine is ours no more! Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles Subject(s): Vengeance | ||||||||
I BLOW, winds! and war, ye waters! King Kühleborn commands! The fairest of our daughters Now thrills at touch of hands. II Let him who comes to woo her The soul of honour shrine! Should mortal love undo her, The Sword of Vengeance mine! III Who weds a water-maiden, His love must never wane: Twin hearts, with rapture laden One soul in bodies twain. IV Crash out, ye waves, your thunder! Roll up the silver shore! For, lost in Love's sweet wonder, Undine is ours no more! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AT THE FALL OF AN AGE by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE STORY OF URIAH by RUDYARD KIPLING THE FAMINE YEAR by JANE FRANCESCA WILDE THE MAID'S TRAGEDY by FRANCIS BEAUMONT PRAYER FOR STRENGTH by MARGARET E.
