LOVE, by MARY CRAIG SINCLAIR Poet's Biography First Line: You are so good, so bountiful and kind Last Line: For what of us, when we no more are here? Alternate Author Name(s): Sinclair, Upton, Mrs. Subject(s): Love | |||
You are so good, so bountiful and kind; You are the throb and sweep of music's wings; The heart of charity you are, and blind To all my weaknesses; your presence brings The ointment and the myrrh to salve the thorn Of daily fret of concourse. That you live Is like to bugles trumping judgment-morn, And stranger than the cry the new-born give. And yet, some day you will go hence; and I Shall wander lonely here awhile, and then— Then I, like you, shall lay me down and die. O sweetheart, kiss me, kiss me once again! Oh, kiss me many times, and hold me near: For what of us, when we no more are here? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD |
