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...MR.
