LOVE said nay, while Hope kept saying All his sweetest say, Hope so keen to start a-maying! -- Love said nay. Love was bent to watch and pray; Long the watching, long the praying; Hope grew drowsy, pale and grey. Hope in dreams set off a-straying, All his dream - world flushed by May; While unslumbering, praying, weighing, Love said nay. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TIE-DOWN OF A BONSAI by MARVIN BELL BATTLE OF BRITAIN by CECIL DAY LEWIS TO SEE THE STARS IN DAYLIGHT by JAMES GALVIN SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: ADAM WEIRAUCH by EDGAR LEE MASTERS SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: DOW BRITT by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
