THE FIRST KISS, by NORMAN ROWLAND GALE Poet's Biography First Line: On helen's heart the day were night! Last Line: Young kiss of long ago! Subject(s): Kisses; Love - Beginnings | |||
ON Helen's heart the day were night! But I may not adventure there: Her breast is guarded by a right, And she is true as fair. And though in happy days her eyes The glow within mine own could please, She's purer than the babe who cries For empire on her knees. Her love is for her lord and child, And unto them belongs her snow; But none can rob me of her wild Young kiss of long ago! | 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 |
