UNCHANGING THEME, by FLORENCE BROOKS First Line: O I would sing of love in every tone Last Line: Our souls have seen the passing of our dreams. Alternate Author Name(s): Malone, John, Mrs. | |||
O I would sing of love in every tone, The chant of trees, the murmur of a flower, The sigh of winds in some deserted bower Where solitude replaces rapture flown From summer midnights, the tempestuous groan Of torrents, or the song of the new hour, The monotone of a nocturnal shower Tell me of love in laughter, music, moan. I know not if we loved for joy or pain In pale old ages where the yellow flowers Flaunted in tardy sunshine, or the rain Flowing and pallid wept through purple hours. But O Beloved, how sad the springtime seems! Our souls have seen the passing of our dreams. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SUBLIME ILLUSION by FLORENCE BROOKS NIGHT AND DAY: 3 by ISAAC ROSENBERG AN ODE TO THE RAIN by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE THE PESSIMIST by BENJAMIN FRANKLIN KING 23RD STREET RUNS INTO HEAVEN by KENNETH PATCHEN THE GRAVE OF SHELLEY by OSCAR WILDE THE WANDERING JEW by WILLIAM EDMONSTOUNE AYTOUN |
