UNATTAINABLE, by MAY ARNO First Line: Why hover close with tantalizing charm Last Line: While weeping inwardly with vain regret. | |||
Why hover close with tantalizing charm, And witching imagery's illusive gleam? Your fascinating, captivating dream Wakens my deadened soul to grave alarm, Lest the bruised spirit craving beauty's sky Ignore the unattainable again Fanning to flame, deep longing all in vain, And aim, anew, to scale the vault on high. You frolic, flirt and laugh along the way. Your path beguiling, calling, always near. Your heavenly goal alluring as you sway The destinies of millions. Filled with fear They follow the illusive star you set, While weeping inwardly with vain regret. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...INDIAN SUMMER by SARA TEASDALE THE DESOLATE FIELD by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS WINTER TREES by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS INSCRIPTION FOR THE ENTRANCE TO A WOOD by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT AND THERE WAS A GREAT CALM' by THOMAS HARDY TWILIGHT AT THE HEIGHTS by CINCINNATUS HEINE MILLER ODES IV, 7.
