FLIRTATION, by FREDERICK STANLEY CAMP First Line: Flitting fancy, blithe and free Last Line: Love you? No, nor dost thou me. Subject(s): Flirtation | |||
FLITTING fancy, blithe and free, Often have I thought of thee! How we sat by babbling brook, Sunny meadow, shady nook. Hazel eyes looked into mine, Soulful, rapturous, divine. Every glance and every sigh, -- Actions thou might now deny, -- Speechless speech, unspoken vow, -- These were darts from Eros' bow! Flitting fancy, blithe and free, Dost thou love as I love thee? Gentle youth, so gay and free, Seldom have I thought of thee; How we sat by babbling brook, Sunny field or shady nook. Dark blue eyes looked into mine, -- They were roguish, not divine! Every glance and every sigh, -- Actions you cannot deny, -- Were only efforts made in vain! Cupid's arts we cannot feign: Both were guilty, don't you see? Love you? No, nor dost thou me. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VENTRILOQUISM by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS SNAP CHAT: MARRAKECH by TIMOTHY LIU THE LADY'S 'YES' by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING THE FLIRT by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES ANITA by FREDERICK STANLEY CAMP VASHTI by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON THE BALLAD WHICH ANNE ASKEW MADE AND SANG WHEN SHE WAS IN NEWGATE by ANNE ASKEWE |
