Still sometimes in my secret heart of hearts I say "Cor mio" when I remember you, And thus I yield us both one tender due, Welding one whole of two divided parts. Ah Friend, too wise or unwise for such arts, Ah noble Friend, silent and strong and true, Would you have given me roses for the rue For which I bartered roses in love's marts? So late in autumn one forgets the spring, Forgets the summer with its opulence, The callow birds that long have found a wing, The swallows that more lately got them hence: Will anything like spring, will anything Like summer, rouse one day the slumbering sense? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NO AUTUMN IN MY COUNTRY by MEENA ALEXANDER AFTER TU FU (THEY SAY YOU'RE STAYING IN A MOUNTAIN TEMPLE) by MARVIN BELL HE HAD A GOOD YEAR by MARVIN BELL SO IT'S TODAY by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR CONTRA MORTEM: THE FALL by HAYDEN CARRUTH IT IS FINISHED' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI ITALIA, IO TI SALUTO!' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THE HEART KNOWETH ITS OWN BITTERNESS' (2) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI |
