SERENADE AT NOONDAY, by ARTHUR DAVISON FICKE Poet's Biography First Line: I do not love you, no, nor all your beauty Last Line: Haunting your silence. Alternate Author Name(s): Knish, Anne Subject(s): Love - Loss Of | |||
I do not love you, no, nor all your beauty, Nor have I fear of your so delicate magics: I only love the silence that around you Makes a low twilight. Yet I desire that thunderous storms of passion For all I am should surge and clamor through you -- Scattering your follies and your delicate secrets -- Shaking your twilight. That like a temple-bell across the darkness I should forever echo in your spirit, With tones of legend and of high disaster Haunting your silence. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ROSE AND MURRAY by CONRAD AIKEN THOUGH WE NO LONGER POSSESS IT by MARK JARMAN THE GLORY OF THE DAY WAS IN HER FACE by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON LOVE COME AND GONE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 33 by JAMES JOYCE A SCOTCH SONG by JOANNA BAILLIE LOREINE: A HORSE by ARTHUR DAVISON FICKE |
