ROSETTE, by HEINRICH CHRISTIAN BOIE First Line: Still upon her glances waiting Last Line: And in conquest passion dies.' | |||
STILL upon her glances waiting, Still desiring, supplicating, Vainly to Rosette I plead -- 'Must I in eternal trial Know the fury of denial? Pity my so constant need!' Still austerely, still unbending, Nothing my occasion mending, Cold and fair Rosette replies -- 'I would clasp in sweet submission, But that hope is love's condition, And in conquest passion dies.' | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FIFTEEN ACRES by JAMES STEPHENS CITY OF ORGIES by WALT WHITMAN MY FRIEND by JOHANNA AMBROSIUS AT SENLIS ONCE by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN TO THE MEMORY OF MY DEAR DAUGHTER IN LAW by ANNE BRADSTREET KATE'S MOTHER by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES THE FORCED RECRUIT AT SOLFERINO by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING |
