SONNET, by FELIX ARVERS First Line: There is a secret shrined within my soul Last Line: "who is this lady?"" she would calmly say!" | |||
There is a secret shrined within my soul, A deathless love, in one brief moment born, A hopeless passion that I must control And hide from her to whom its vows are sworn. Yes! I must pass unnoticed by her eye, Close by her side, consumed by lonely thought, And shrouding still my secret I shall die, By naught rewarded having sued for naught. But shethough God has dower'd her with a sweet And tender natureknows not that her feet Lure me to follow her where'er they stray: Too pure to dream her love can be desired Were she to read these lines she has inspired, "Who is this lady?" she would calmly say! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE NIGHTINGALE; A CONVERSATION POEM by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE IDEA: 14.
