DELILAH, by VIRGINIA LYNE TUNSTALL First Line: Oh, but certainly you will adore her Last Line: And the ashes of cold fires. Subject(s): Love Affairs | |||
Oh, but certainly you will adore her. Other, and wiser men have knelt before her, To burn pale candles, And kiss her bright sandals. Oh, but certainly you will become her lover, Not tenderly, but only to discover What smouldering secret lies Behind her mocking eyes. Oh, but certainly you will grow weary. There is nothing there to find but the dreary Monotony of old desires, And the ashes of cold fires. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DOUBLE SPHERE, CLOVEN SPHERE by NORMAN DUBIE A MONTH IN SUMMER by CAROLYN KIZER OAXACA 1925 by KENNETH REXROTH SOTTOPORTICO SAN ZACCARIA by KENNETH REXROTH APOLLO AT LAX by KAREN SWENSON IT'S ME, I'M NOT HOME by REETIKA VAZIRANI BALLAD FOR CAPE HENRY DAY by VIRGINIA LYNE TUNSTALL |
