UNATTAINABLE, by MAY ARNO First Line: Why hover close with tantalizing charm Last Line: While weeping inwardly with vain regret. | |||
Why hover close with tantalizing charm, And witching imagery's illusive gleam? Your fascinating, captivating dream Wakens my deadened soul to grave alarm, Lest the bruised spirit craving beauty's sky Ignore the unattainable again Fanning to flame, deep longing all in vain, And aim, anew, to scale the vault on high. You frolic, flirt and laugh along the way. Your path beguiling, calling, always near. Your heavenly goal alluring as you sway The destinies of millions. Filled with fear They follow the illusive star you set, While weeping inwardly with vain regret. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A WINTER PIECE by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT A POET'S WELCOME TO HIS LOVE-BEGOTTEN DAUGHTER by ROBERT BURNS THE MOTHER WATCH by EDGAR ALBERT GUEST IN THE DEEP WHITE SNOW by ANNE ATWOOD A NEW PILGRIMAGE: 7 by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT GOD'S HUMOR by GAMALIEL BRADFORD THE RING AND THE BOOK: BOOK 4.
