IL MIO REFUGIO, by MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI Poet's Biography First Line: The haven and last refuge of my pain Last Line: Lest death should vanquish love. Alternate Author Name(s): Michel Angelo | |||
The haven and last refuge of my pain (A safe and strong defence) Are tears and supplications, but in vain. Love sets upon me banded with Disdain, One armed with pity and one armed with death, And as death smites me, pity lends me breath. Else had my soul long since departed thence. She pineth to remove Whither her hopes of endless peace abide And beauty dwelleth without beauty's pride, There her last bliss to prove. But still the living fountain of her tears Wells in the heart when all thy truth appears, Lest death should vanquish love. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MADRIGAL: 109 by MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI SONNET by MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI SONNET by MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI SONNET: DANTE (1) by MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI SONNET: FOR INSPIRATION by MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI TO GIOVANNI DA PISTOIA ON THE PAINTING OF THE SISTINE CHAPEL, 1509 by MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI AT FLORENCE (1) by MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI AT FLORENCE (2) by MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI CANZONE by MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI CELESTIAL LOVE by MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI |
