SONNET, by FELIX ARVERS First Line: There is a secret shrined within my soul Last Line: "who is this lady?"" she would calmly say!" | |||
There is a secret shrined within my soul, A deathless love, in one brief moment born, A hopeless passion that I must control And hide from her to whom its vows are sworn. Yes! I must pass unnoticed by her eye, Close by her side, consumed by lonely thought, And shrouding still my secret I shall die, By naught rewarded having sued for naught. But she—though God has dower'd her with a sweet And tender nature—knows not that her feet Lure me to follow her where'er they stray: Too pure to dream her love can be desired— Were she to read these lines she has inspired, "Who is this lady?" she would calmly say! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO RUSSIA by CINCINNATUS HEINE MILLER THE SMALL CELANDINE by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH THE FASHIONS, 1806 by LEWIS BEACH UNREASONABLE REASON by JOSEPH BEAUMONT A CHRISTMAS THOUGHT by MRS.
