RURAL POESY, by PHILIP SIDNEY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: O words, which fall like summer dew on me Last Line: That she be mine, as I to her am true. Subject(s): Fidelity; Faithfulness; Constancy | |||
O WORDS, which fall like summer dew on me; O breath, more sweet than is the growing bean; O tongue, in which all honeyed liquors be; O voice, that doth the thrush in shrillness stain; Do you say still, this is her promised due, That she is mine, as I to her am true. Gay hair, more gay than straw when harvest lies; Lips red and plum, as cherry's ruddy side; Eyes fair and great, like fair great ox's eyes; O breast, where virtue dwells in purest pride; Join you with me, to seal this promise due That she be mine, as I to her am true. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ARGUING BARTUSIAK by ALBERT GOLDBARTH THE VISIONARY by EMILY JANE BRONTE THE PROTESTATION by THOMAS CAREW A VALEDICTION: OF MY NAME IN THE WINDOW by JOHN DONNE ELEGY: 11.
