LUCASTA WEEPING; SONG, by RICHARD LOVELACE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Lucasta wept, and still the bright Last Line: Kindled again his fires. Subject(s): Grief; Sorrow; Sadness | |||
LUCASTA wept, and still the bright Enamour'd God of Day, With his soft handkercher of light, Kiss'd the wet pearls away. But when her tears his heat o'ercame, In clouds he quench'd his beams, And griev'd, wept out his eye of flame, So drowned her sad streams. At this she smil'd, when straight the sun Clear'd with her kind desires, And by her eyes' reflection Kindled again his fires. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONOMA FIRE by JANE HIRSHFIELD AS THE SPARKS FLY UPWARDS by JOHN HOLLANDER WHAT GREAT GRIEF HAS MADE THE EMPRESS MUTE by JUNE JORDAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 19 by JAMES JOYCE DIRGE AT THE END OF THE WOODS by LEONIE ADAMS GRATIANA DANCING AND SINGING by RICHARD LOVELACE LA BELLA BONA ROBA by RICHARD LOVELACE THE GRASSHOPPER; TO MY NOBLE FRIEND MR.
