CISMA DE INGLATERRA: STANZA 2, by PEDRO CALDERON DE LA BARCA Poet's Biography First Line: My heart, its wishes trembling to unfold Last Line: I burned my wings, and settled on the rose.' | |||
My heart, its wishes trembling to unfold, Thus round the Rose and Taper hovering came, And Passion's slave, Distrust, in ashes cold, Smothered awhile, but could not quench the flame, Till Love, that grows by disappointment bold, And Opportunity, had conquered Shame, And like the Bee and Moth, in act to close, I burned my wings, and settled on the Rose.' | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BELSHAZZAR'S FEAST by PEDRO CALDERON DE LA BARCA CISMA DE INGLATERRA: STANZA 1 by PEDRO CALDERON DE LA BARCA SCENES FROM THE MAGICO PRODIGIOSO by PEDRO CALDERON DE LA BARCA THE DREAM CALLED LIFE by PEDRO CALDERON DE LA BARCA THE LAMENT OF SIGISMUNDO IN LA VIDA ES SUENO by PEDRO CALDERON DE LA BARCA THE PURGATORY OF SAINT PATRICK by PEDRO CALDERON DE LA BARCA CHURCHILL'S GRAVE by GEORGE GORDON BYRON FAREWELL TO MALTA by GEORGE GORDON BYRON A SHROPSHIRE LAD: 48 by ALFRED EDWARD HOUSMAN VOICES OF THE NIGHT: PRELUDE by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW |
