A GREETING, by JOSEPH TWYMAN First Line: To my very best friend! To you, dear friend Last Line: Till every heart is full. Subject(s): Friendship; Greetings; Love; Wishes | |||
TO MY very best friend! to you, dear friend The very best friend I know; — Without stint, without end, my very best friend Good wishes and greeting I cheerfully send, Young Eros for you, dear, will willingly lend His arrows of gold, and bow. Young Eros, 't is said, has weapons of lead — Both blunt and heavy to pull — But his arrows of lead are for love that is dead, So I covet a quiver of gold instead, That love may all over the world be spread Till every heart is full. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...O TO BE A DRAGON by MARIANNE MOORE FOUNTAIN IN AVIGNON by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR THE HOUR BETWEEN DOG AND WOLF: 1.
