CHANSON UN PEU NAIVE, by LOUISE BOGAN Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: What body can be ploughed Alternate Author Name(s): Holden, Raymond, Mrs. | |||
What body can be ploughed, Sown, and broken yearly? But she would not die, she vowed, But she has, nearly. Sing, heart sing; Call and carol clearly. And, since she could not die, Care would be a feather, A film over the eye Of two that lie together. Fly, song, fly, Break your little tether. So from strength concealed She makes her pretty boast: Plain is a furrow healed And she may love you most. Cry, song, cry, And hear your crying lost. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CHANGED WOMAN by LOUISE BOGAN TO A DEAD LOVER by LOUISE BOGAN TEARS IN SLEEP by LOUISE BOGAN TEARS IN SLEEP by LOUISE BOGAN CAMPUS SONNET: BEFORE AN EXAMINATION by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET |
