EROS IS MISSING, by MELEAGER Poet's Biography First Line: Eros is missing. In the early morn Last Line: I see him, bow and all, in chloe's eye. Alternate Author Name(s): Meleagros Subject(s): Admiration | |||
EROS is missing. In the early morn Forth from his bed the rascal took his flight. Sweet are his tears; his smile is touched with scorn -- A nimble-tongued, swift-footed, fearless sprite! And he is winged; his hands a quiver bear. What farther 't was begot him none can tell, "He is not mine," Earth, Air, and Sea declare. That he's a foe to all, I know full well. So keep good watch: beware his snare's embrace; Even now his toils may in thy pathway lie. But look, who's that? Ah, there's his hiding- place! I see him, bow and all, in Chloe's eye. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE EYE IN THE ROCK by JOHN HAINES SAN DIEGO AND MATISSE: 1.
