SONG: 12, by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD Poet's Biography First Line: I plucked my love from out my heart Last Line: And veiled my sight. Alternate Author Name(s): Radford, Ernest, Mrs. | |||
I PLUCKED my love from out my heart, My love that burned like fire, My faithful love that would not stray, My love that scarred the night and day My love that burned my soul away, With its desire. I flung it to the distant stars, When sun and day were fled, And from the night there fell such peace, For comfort of that sweet release I prayed it might not ever cease -- Till love were dead. And with the morning's dawn, my love Rose in a flame of light, From every hidden star it leapt, And through my empty heart it swept, For joy of love's return, I wept And veiled my sight. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A BALLAD OF VICTORY by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD A BRIDE by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD A CONCERT by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD A DREAM OF 'DREAMS' by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD A MODEL by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD A MODERN POLYPHEME by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD A NOVEMBER ROSE by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD A NOVICE by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD A PORTRAIT by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD A PRAYER by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD |
