ROSETTE, by HEINRICH CHRISTIAN BOIE First Line: Still upon her glances waiting Last Line: And in conquest passion dies.' | |||
STILL upon her glances waiting, Still desiring, supplicating, Vainly to Rosette I plead -- 'Must I in eternal trial Know the fury of denial? Pity my so constant need!' Still austerely, still unbending, Nothing my occasion mending, Cold and fair Rosette replies -- 'I would clasp in sweet submission, But that hope is love's condition, And in conquest passion dies.' | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BRIDGE OF SIGHS by THOMAS HOOD FLOWERS WITHOUT FRUIT by JOHN HENRY NEWMAN ON THE LIFE OF MAN by WALTER RALEIGH EARLY RISING by JOHN GODFREY SAXE PREPARATORY MEDITATIONS, 1ST SERIES: 8 by EDWARD TAYLOR A COMPARISON OF THE LIFE OF MAN by RICHARD BARNFIELD |
