TO MY WIFE, by CONRAD AIKEN Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Whatever loveliness is in this music Last Line: All these stars are yours; you gave them to me, skies! Subject(s): Love - Marital; Wedded Love; Marriage - Love | |||
Whatever loveliness is in this music, Whatever yearning after lovely things, -- Whatever crying after stars, in darkness, Whatever beating of impeded wings: Whatever climbing of the rose to sunlight, Sweet-hearted laugh from the dark blind sod: Whatever madness of the sea for moonlight, Whatever yearning of the good to God: All that is beautiful, and all that looks on beauty With eyes filled with fire, like a lover's eyes: All of this is yours; you gave it to me, sunlight! All these stars are yours; you gave them to me, skies! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO MY WIFE by GEORGE WASHINGTON BETHUNE VARIATION ON THE WORD SLEEP by MARGARET ATWOOD IN THE MONTH OF MAY by ROBERT BLY |
