LOVE be mute, but take thyne arc, For my wild and lovelye deer, In the dawn or in the dark Passeth near. Here be foot-prints. Lo! her shape. To her heart thyne arrowe speed.

Far she flies nor feels thy dart: I am slaine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A FRIEND KILLED IN THE WAR by ANTHONY HECHT FOR JAMES MERRILL: AN ADIEU by ANTHONY HECHT TARANTULA: OR THE DANCE OF DEATH by ANTHONY HECHT CHAMPS D?ÇÖHONNEUR by ERNEST HEMINGWAY NOTE TO REALITY by TONY HOAGLAND IDYLL by VAUQUELIN DE LA FRESNAYE |
