Love lights his fire to burn my Past — There goes the house where I was born! And even Friendship — Love declares — Must feed his precious flames and burn. I stuffed my life with odds and ends, But how much joy can Knowledge give? The World my guide, I lived to learn — From Love, alone, I learn to live. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...APPULDURCOMBE PARK by AMY LOWELL FIVE ACCOUNTS OF A MONOGAMOUS MAN by WILLIAM MEREDITH ON PASSION AS A LITERARY TRADITION by JOHN CIARDI LES GRANDES PASSIONS MANQUEES by IRVING FELDMAN A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
