TO LOVE, by SAROJINI NAIDU Poet's Biography First Line: O love! Of all the riches that are mine Last Line: What gift have I withheld before thy throne? Subject(s): Hearts; Love; Old Age | ||||||||
O LOVE! of all the riches that are mine, What gift have I withheld before thy shrine? What tender ecstasy of prayer and praise Or lyric flower of my impassioned days? What poignant dream have I denied to thee Of secret hope, desire and memory; Or intimate anguish of sad years, long dead, Old griefs unstaunched, old fears uncomforted? What radiant prophecies that thrill and throng The unborn years with swift delight of song? O Love! of all the treasures that I own, What gift have I withheld before thy throne? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AT EIGHTY I CHANGE MY VIEW by DAVID IGNATOW FAWN'S FOSTER-MOTHER by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE DEER LAY DOWN THEIR BONES by ROBINSON JEFFERS OLD BLACK MEN by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON A WINTER ODE TO THE OLD MEN OF LUMMUS PARK, / MIAMI, FLORIDA by DONALD JUSTICE AFTER A LINE BY JOHN PEALE BISHOP by DONALD JUSTICE TO HER BODY, AGAINST TIME by ROBERT KELLY SONG FROM A COUNTRY FAIR by LEONIE ADAMS A CHALLENGE TO FATE by SAROJINI NAIDU |
