UNATTAINABLE, by MAY ARNO First Line: Why hover close with tantalizing charm Last Line: While weeping inwardly with vain regret. | |||
Why hover close with tantalizing charm, And witching imagery's illusive gleam? Your fascinating, captivating dream Wakens my deadened soul to grave alarm, Lest the bruised spirit craving beauty's sky Ignore the unattainable again Fanning to flame, deep longing all in vain, And aim, anew, to scale the vault on high. You frolic, flirt and laugh along the way. Your path beguiling, calling, always near. Your heavenly goal alluring as you sway The destinies of millions. Filled with fear They follow the illusive star you set, While weeping inwardly with vain regret. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE STORM by KATHERINE MANSFIELD AN ANSWER TO THE PARSON by WILLIAM BLAKE THE LITTLE BLACK-EYED REBEL by WILLIAM MCKENDREE CARLETON A PRAISE OF HIS LADY by JOHN HEYWOOD UPON THE SAYING THAT MY VERSES WERE MADE BY ANOTHER by ANNE KILLIGREW THE MEETING OF THE WATERS by THOMAS MOORE SEASONS (1) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI BY THE SALPETRIERE by THOMAS ASHE A CONCLUSORIE HUMNE TO THE SAME WEEK; & FOR MY FRIEND by JOSEPH BEAUMONT |
