If I could sing as no man ever sang -- Find the red heart of that unspoken lore That all sweet sound is only hunger for, -- If I might call the moonlight on the sea, The river-lily's dream, the soul of dew, To lead the voices of my harmony, I should have songs, O Love, to sing to you. If I could love as no man ever loved -- The seeking of the girl unsatisfied, The passion of the bridegroom for the bride, The mother's wonder in her newborn son, The boy's fresh rapture in his life come true -- If I might compass all these loves in one, I should have love, O Love, to bring to you. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DOMESDAY BOOK: ARCHIBALD LOWELL by EDGAR LEE MASTERS HOMAGE TO SEXTUS PROPERTIUS: 8 by EZRA POUND |
