A WEARY HEART, by PHOEBE CARY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Ye winds, that talk among the pines Last Line: To kiss the humblest flower ye love! Subject(s): Nature; Comfort | ||||||||
YE winds, that talk among the pines, In pity whisper soft and low; And from my trailing garden vines, Bear the faint odors as ye go; Take fragrance from the orchard trees, From the meek violet in the dell; Gather the honey that the bees Had left you in the lily's bell; Pass tenderly as lovers pass, Stoop to the clover-blooms your wings, Find out the daisies in the grass, The sweets of all insensate things; With muffled feet, o'er beds of flowers, Go through the valley to the height, Where frowning walls and lofty towers Shut in a weary heart to-night; Go comfort her, who fain would give Her wealth below, her hopes above, For the wild freedom that ye have To kiss the humblest flower ye love! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO A YOUNG WOMAN DYING by NORMAN DUBIE SECOND TIME AROUND by CAROLYN KIZER LANDRUM'S DINER, RENO by DORIANNE LAUX THE DADDY STRAIN by KAREN SWENSON THE MAD WOMAN'S SONG by KAREN SWENSON A LEGEND OF THE NORTHLAND by PHOEBE CARY |
