TO LOVE IS TO BE BORN ANEW, by MARION LOUISE BLISS First Line: There is a love which like the whitest flower of spring Last Line: Ever close to earth. Subject(s): Love | |||
There is a love which like the whitest flower of spring Blooms in the dawning coolness of the early years, Kept close and hidden by the winter leaves. Its petals are so clear, washed by the evening rain, And kept in shade, as though a casual daylight Might leave some stain on such a shining loveliness. There is a love which cannot bear the summer scrutiny Of eyes, impelled to probe if roots be deep And how they are. Conscious of its own worth It keeps the forming of its perfect flower Ever close to earth. | 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 ON READING OF THE DEATH OF THOMAS WOLFE by MARION LOUISE BLISS |
