EPIGRAM: AN INDISCRETION, by ANONYMOUS First Line: Toward a far goal my dearest hope I sent Last Line: "and there did enter in, and there abide" | |||
TOWARD a far goal my dearest Hope I sent, But bade her show to none the path she went; So when Despair did meet her on her way, And asked her: Whither bound? she would not say. Then tell, fair maid, he prayed her, whence thou art. And ah, she told him, from mine inmost heart; And thither straight the envious Demon hied, And there did enter in, and there abide. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest... |
