AERE PERENNIUS, by CHARLES HANSON TOWNE Poet's Biography First Line: As long as the stars of god Last Line: I would tell my love for thee! Subject(s): Love | |||
AS long as the stars of God Hang steadfast in the sky, And the blossoms 'neath the sod Awake when Spring is nigh; As long as the nightingale Sings love-songs to the rose, And the Winter wind in the vale Makes moan o'er the virgin snows -- As long as these things be I would tell my love for thee! As long as the rose of June Bursts forth in crimson fire, And the mellow harvest-moon Shines over hill and spire; As long as heaven's dew At morning kisses the sod; As long as you are you, And I know that God is God -- As long as these things be I would tell my love for thee! | 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 CITY ROOFS by CHARLES HANSON TOWNE |
