MY MADELINE; SERENADE IN M FLAT, by WALTER PARKE First Line: My madeline! My madeline! Last Line: Madonna mia! My madeline! Subject(s): Music & Musicians; Singing & Singers | |||
MY Madeline! my Madeline! Mark my melodious midnight moans; Much may my melting music mean, My modulated monotones. My mandolin's mild minstrelsy, My mental music magazine, My mouth, my mind, my memory, Must mingling murmur "Madeline!" Muster 'mid midnight masquerades, Mark Moorish maidens, matrons' mien; 'Mongst Murcia's most majestic maids, Match me my matchless Madeline. Mankind's malevolence may make Much melancholy musing mine; Many my motives may mistake, My modest merits much malign. My Madeline's most mirthful mood Much mollifies my mind's machine, My mournfulness's magnitude Melts -- make me merry, Madeline! Match-making mas may machinate, Manoeuvring misses me mis-ween; Mere money may make many mate, My magic motto's "Madeline!" Melt, most mellifluous melody, 'Midst Murcia's misty mounts marine; Meet me 'mid moonlight; marry me, Madonna mia! my Madeline! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE APOLLO TRIO by CONRAD AIKEN BAD GIRL SINGING by MARK JARMAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 4 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 5 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE THE SONG OF THE NIGHTINGALE IS LIKE THE SCENT OF SYRINGA by MINA LOY |
