The soul of a woman seeking truth Holds love too deep for tears For hours seem helpless and uncouth While keeping count of years That flew like homing-doves on high, Transparent in their flight, Again portrayed to amplify Great love that pens indite. As decades pass, the blazing trails Of woman's love for man Seem like Aurora's searching flails That only mystics scan, While youth and beauty keep their tryst, Each act; a glowing scheme Where love transcends the casuist And holds each searching beam. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ELEGY FOR AN ENEMY by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET A DREAM OF JULIUS CAESAR by ROBERT FROST UNTITLED, 1968; FOR MARK ROTHKO by JAMES GALVIN AUTUMN SONG by KATHERINE MANSFIELD TO A PRIZE BIRD by MARIANNE MOORE THE PICTURE (VENUS RECLINING) by EZRA POUND |
