OH, TORTURE NOT MY SOUL!, by JOHANNA AMBROSIUS Poet's Biography First Line: Oh, do not torture thus my soul Last Line: T is dreaming now of thee. Subject(s): Love | |||
OH, do not torture thus my soul, Because, so calm and still, Even beneath thy sunlike kiss It opes not at thy will. For love is a peculiar thing, Oft unawares may come; Who seeks it on far mountain peaks May find it 'neath sea foam. Oh, do not torture thus my soul, To blossom leave it free; Perchance, beneath the flood of rain, 'T is dreaming now of thee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD |
