SNOWDROP, by WILLIAM WETMORE STORY Poet's Biography First Line: When, full of warm and eager love Last Line: And love me truly, just one minute. | |||
WHEN, full of warm and eager love, I clasp you in my fond embrace, You gently push me back and say, "Take care, my dear, you'll spoil my lace." You kiss me just as you would kiss Some woman friend you chanced to see; You call me "dearest."—All love's forms Are yours, not its reality. Oh, Annie! cry, and storm, and rave! Do anything with passion in it! Hate me an hour, and then turn round And love me truly, just one minute. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IO VICTIS by WILLIAM WETMORE STORY PAN IN LOVE by WILLIAM WETMORE STORY PRAXITELES AND PHRYNE by WILLIAM WETMORE STORY SALEM, SELECTION by WILLIAM WETMORE STORY THE VIOLET by WILLIAM WETMORE STORY WETMORE COTTAGE by WILLIAM WETMORE STORY THE JAIN BIRD HOSPITAL IN DELHI by WILLIAM MEREDITH THE ORANGE PICKER by DAVID IGNATOW IN THE TRENCHES by ISAAC ROSENBERG UPLANDS IN MAY by CARL SANDBURG |
