SONNET PRIDE, by HALE C. COLE First Line: As dawn comes to a glistening forest glade Last Line: Brought life's supreme completion when you came. | |||
As dawn comes to a glistening forest glade Where only beauty such as yours inspires Within the thicket countless feathered choirs To simulate your voice in their aubade, While odors of a cherished absentee Are wafted from the luscious clover blooms Wherein the bees discover treasure rooms Replete with nectar as your lips to me; So did my other senses acquiesce With feeling in a paean to acclaim Your presence, herald of that happiness Too deep for profanation by a name, -- For love, the all of all, with its caress Brought life's supreme completion when you came. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: PENNIWIT, THE ARTIST by EDGAR LEE MASTERS FOOTLIGHT MOTIFS: 1.
