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...FORGETFULNESS by ANNA HEMPSTEAD BRANCH ASOLANDO: REVERIE by ROBERT BROWNING SONG OF THE EARTHLINGS by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON NIGHT IN FLORIDA by ALPHEUS BUTLER INVOCATION; WRITTEN ON A VERY HOT DAY IN AUGUST by HANNAH COWLEY RAPTURES by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
