SONG: NOT A WORD, by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Love, my heart is faint with waiting Last Line: Come; but mind, love, not a word! Subject(s): Hearts; Love; Singing & Singers; Songs | |||
LOVE, my heart is faint with waiting, Faint with hope and joy deferred, All night long at this sad grating, Sleepless like a prisoned bird, Singing low, Singing slow: Come, ah come, love.—Not a word! Love, in vain for thee this token Did I tie, poor silken cord, To my window. See, 'tis broken And the strands fly heavenward. All are free, All but me. Come, ah come, love.—Not a word! Lo, the first sad streak of morning Cleaves the heaven like a sword. Love, too late I hear the warning, Of thy footstep on the sward. Yet, ah yet, Though 'tis late, Come; but mind, love, not a word! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE APOLLO TRIO by CONRAD AIKEN BAD GIRL SINGING by MARK JARMAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 4 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 5 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE THE SONG OF THE NIGHTINGALE IS LIKE THE SCENT OF SYRINGA by MINA LOY ESTHER; A YOUNG MAN'S TRAGEDY: 50 by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT ESTHER; A YOUNG MAN'S TRAGEDY: 51 by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT THE LOVE SONNETS OF PROTEUS: 110.
