THE SONG OF RICHARD AND BLONDEL, by ANONYMOUS First Line: "your beauty, lady fair" Last Line: Than love with others share Subject(s): Beauty;love | ||||||||
YOUR beauty, lady fair, None views without delight; But still so cold an air No passion can excite: Yet this I patient see While all are shunned like me. No nymph my heart can wound If favour she divide, And smiles on all around Unwilling to decide: I'd rather hatred bear Than love with others share. | 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 |
