WITH A GOLDEN NECKLACE, by JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE Poet's Biography First Line: Accept, dear maid, this little token Last Line: For there are chains will not unbind. Subject(s): Freedom; Jewelry & Jewelers; Liberty; Rings; Bracelets; Necklaces | |||
ACCEPT, dear maid, this little token, A supple chain that fain would lie, And keep its tiny links unbroken Upon a neck of ivory. Pray, then, exalt it to this duty, And change its humbleness to pride! By day, it will adorn your beauty, By night, 'tis quickly laid aside. But if another hand should proffer A chain of weightier, closer kind, Think twice ere you accept the offer; For there are chains will not unbind. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LOST JEWEL by EMILY DICKINSON THE BRACELET: TO JULIA by ROBERT HERRICK ANTIQUE JEWELER by FREDERICK HENRY HERBERT ADLER MY JEWEL CASE by BESSE BURNETT BELL A JEWELLED SELL by PATRICK REGINALD CHALMERS A MARRIAGE RING by GEORGE CRABBE ON RECEIVING FROM A LADY A PRESENT OF A RING by GEORGE CRABBE A SONG FROM THE COPTIC by JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE FAUST: SCENE 1.
