A LOVE-SONG, by NORMAN ROWLAND GALE Poet's Biography First Line: O to think, o to think as I see her stand there Last Line: Being lord of her life and her heart and her love! Subject(s): Love - Beginnings | |||
O To think, O to think as I see her stand there With the rose that I plucked, in her glorious hair, In the robe that I love, So demure and so neat, I am lord of her lips and her eyes and her feet! O to think, O to think when the last hedge is leapt, When the blood is awakened that dreamingly slept, I shall make her heart throb In its cradle of lace, As the lord of her hair and her breast and her face! O to think, O to think when our wedding-bells ring, When our love's at the summer but life's at the spring, I shall guard her asleep As my hound guards her glove, Being lord of her life and her heart and her love! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WHY I MIGHT GO TO THE NEXT FOOTBALL GAME by DENIS JOHNSON THE POOL by ALEXANDER ANDERSON COZY APOLOGIA; FOR FRED by RITA DOVE YOU NOW HOLDING THIS BOOK IN HAND by ALICE NOTLEY FALLING IN LOVE IN SPAIN OR MEXICO by RON PADGETT WHEN LOVE WAS BORN by SARA TEASDALE THE COUNTRY FAITH by NORMAN ROWLAND GALE |
