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...A LETTER ON THE USE OF MACHINE GUNS AT WEDDINGS by KENNETH PATCHEN THE PHOSPHORESCENT MAN by KAREN SWENSON TANGENTIAL by LOUIS UNTERMEYER THE SMALL CELANDINE by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH PSALM 125 by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE THE LAST OF AUTUMN by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN |
