TO AN UNNAMED LADY, by GEORGE HERBERT CLARKE First Line: When there are others by, in vain I dream Last Line: For here th' eternal mysteries abide! Subject(s): Eyes; Love; Man-woman Relationships; Secrets; Male-female Relations | |||
WHEN there are others by, in vain I dream To dwell within the orbit of thine eyes, Or should there dart a sudden starry gleam, It hardly lives and lightens ere it dies. But, sweetheart, how they "swim into my ken" When we 're alone,how ruth and trust and pride Smile in their shining depths! Amen, Amen, For here th' eternal mysteries abide! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MISERY AND SPLENDOR by ROBERT HASS THE APPLE TREES AT OLEMA by ROBERT HASS DOUBLE SONNET by ANTHONY HECHT CONDITIONS XXI by ESSEX HEMPHILL CALIFORNIA SORROW: MOUNTAIN VIEW by MARY KINZIE SUPERBIA: A TRIUMPH WITH NO TRAIN by MARY KINZIE COUNSEL TO UNREASON by LEONIE ADAMS TWENTY QUESTIONS by DAVID LEHMAN A CHILD'S EVENING HYMN by GEORGE HERBERT CLARKE |
