LAURA'S SONG, by OLIVER MADOX BROWN First Line: Alas! Who knows or cares, my love Last Line: Cling closer, love, and close thine eyes! Subject(s): Love | |||
ALAS! who knows or cares, my love, If our love live or die, -- If thou thy frailty, sweet, should prove, Or my soul thine deny? Yet merging sorrow in delight, Love's dream disputes our devious night. None know, sweet love, nor care a thought For our heart's vague desire, Nor if our longing come to naught, Or burn in aimless fire; Let them alone, we'll waste no sighs: Cling closer, love, and close thine eyes! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD BEFORE AND AFTER by OLIVER MADOX BROWN AGING TOGETHER by CLARENCE MAJOR THE LITTLE BLACK BOY, FR.
