SWEET MAID OF MY DREAMS, by OLIVER MURRAY EDWARDS First Line: Sweet maid of my dreams while my love seeks for thee Last Line: From the fathomless depths I answer to thee. Subject(s): Courtship; Love - Beginnings | ||||||||
Sweet maid of my dreams while my love seeks for thee, O'er mountain and ocean thy call comes to me; Thou voice of my heart, so elusive and free, Art thou spirit of air or nymph of the sea? Sweet maid of my dreams if of flesh thou shalt be, When a captive of Love I will bind thee to me With chains that are golden, of wrought fantasy, Whose links will be holding for eternity. Sweet maid of my dreams, sprite of darkness and light, Thou art phantom of day and shadow of night; From the great wastes beyond thy call comes to me From the fathomless depths I answer to thee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WHY I MIGHT GO TO THE NEXT FOOTBALL GAME by DENIS JOHNSON THE POOL by ALEXANDER ANDERSON COZY APOLOGIA; FOR FRED by RITA DOVE YOU NOW HOLDING THIS BOOK IN HAND by ALICE NOTLEY FALLING IN LOVE IN SPAIN OR MEXICO by RON PADGETT WHEN LOVE WAS BORN by SARA TEASDALE A CHRISTMAS CAROL AND ANTHEM by OLIVER MURRAY EDWARDS |
