MADRIGAL, by STANISLAUS JEAN DE BOUFFLERS First Line: When first before me she appeared Last Line: I never would have loved at all. | |||
WHEN first before me she appeared, Her beauty well I saw; but that alone. But when her speech I heard, How she was more than fair was known, Her charms I praise, but more her mind approve, But never thought my soul she would enthral. Had I foreseen how deeply I should love, I never would have loved at all. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE NEGRO SPEAKS OF RIVERS by JAMES LANGSTON HUGHES EVENING by SYLVIA HORTENSE BLISS CONFLICT BEFORE VICTORY by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON THIRD BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 10 by THOMAS CAMPION TOWARDS DEMOCRACY: PART 3.
