TAKE WHOM YOU WILL, by EDA LOU WALTON First Line: Take whom you will for mistress; let me be Last Line: Make me companion of the hopeless quest. Subject(s): Love - Nature Of | ||||||||
Take whom you will for mistress; let me be Someone unknown in sleep or in desire, Touching your mind at evening as the sea The beach to give fluidity for fire. Call whom you will your lover; let me walk The star-etched hills of Vision by your side; Turn me your face and let me hear you talk Of mountains beyond mountains where we ride. I shall not wish your fingers in my hair, Nor yet be frightened with my lips unkissed; Even my breast forgets its aching where Is granted me the beauty I have missed. Take whom you will within your arms for rest; Make me companion of the Hopeless Quest. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...RESCUE THE DEAD by DAVID IGNATOW BUTTERFLIES UNDER PERSIMMON by MARK JARMAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 27 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 30 by JAMES JOYCE HE WHO KNOWS LOVE by ELSA BARKER LOVE'S HUMBLENESS by ELSA BARKER SONG (IN THE LUCKY CHANCE) by APHRA BEHN A HIDDEN RHYTHM by EDA LOU WALTON |
