THE COURTIER'S GOOD MORROW TO HIS MISTRESS, by ANONYMOUS First Line: Canst thou love and lie alone? Last Line: Only I that mourn out Subject(s): Love | |||
Canst thou love and lie alone? Love is so disgraced. Pleasure is best wherein is rest In a heart embraced. Rise, rise, rise! Daylight do not burn out! Bells do ring and birds do sing; Only I that mourn out. Morning star doth now appear. Wind is hushed and sky is clear: Come, come away! come, come away! Canst thou love and burn out day? Rise, rise, rise! Daylight do not burn out! Bells do ring and birds do sing; Only I that mourn out. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
