AIRS FOR THE LUTE: 1, by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: When the sobbing lute complains Last Line: Hand and voice unto the lute! Subject(s): Lutes | |||
When the sobbing lute complains, Grieving for an ancient sorrow, This poor sorrow that remains Fain would borrow, To give pleading unto sorrow, Those uncapturable strains. All, that hands upon the lute Helped the voices to declare, Voices mute But for this, might I not share, If, alas, I could but suit Hand and voice unto the lute! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 6.
