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...EPILOGUE FROM EMBLEMS OF LOVE by LASCELLES ABERCROMBIE MADRIGAL by WILLIAM DRUMMOND OF HAWTHORNDEN THE LOWEST PLACE by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT; AN ODE ATTEMPTED IN ENGLISH SAPPHIC by ISAAC WATTS TO A YOUNG LADY; WHO ...
