I BLOW, winds! and war, ye waters! King Kühleborn commands! The fairest of our daughters Now thrills at touch of hands. II Let him who comes to woo her The soul of honour shrine! Should mortal love undo her, The Sword of Vengeance mine! III Who weds a water-maiden, His love must never wane: Twin hearts, with rapture laden— One soul in bodies twain. IV Crash out, ye waves, your thunder! Roll up the silver shore! For, lost in Love's sweet wonder, Undine is ours no more! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ON THE INFLATION OF THE CURRENCY, 1919 by ROBERT FROST NOTES FOR THE FIRST LINE OF A SPANISH POEM by JAMES GALVIN THE TEMPTRESS by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON DISMAL MOMENT PASSING by CLARENCE MAJOR ESSAY: AT NIGHT THE AUTOPORTRAIT AT NIGHT by ELENI SIKELIANOS |
