AH, EROS DOTH NOT ALWAYS SMITE, by KATHERINE HARRIS BRADLEY Poet's Biography Alternate Author Name(s): Field, Michael (with Edith Emma Cooper) | |||
AH, Eros doth not always smite With cruel, shining dart, Whose bitter point with sudden might Rends the unhappy heart - Not thus forever purple-stained, And sore with steely touch, Else were its living fountain drained Too oft and overmuch. O'er it sometimes the boy will deign Sweep the shaft's feathered end ; And friendship rises without pain Where the white plumes descend. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ABSENCE by KATHERINE HARRIS BRADLEY THE LADY I HAVE VOWED TO PAINT by KATHERINE HARRIS BRADLEY THE LADY I HAVE VOWED TO PAINT by KATHERINE HARRIS BRADLEY AVOWAL by KATHERINE HARRIS BRADLEY A GIRL by KATHERINE HARRIS BRADLEY BELOVED by KATHERINE HARRIS BRADLEY NESTS IN ELMS by KATHERINE HARRIS BRADLEY POWER IN SILENCE by KATHERINE HARRIS BRADLEY CYCLAMENS by KATHERINE HARRIS BRADLEY THE DANCERS by KATHERINE HARRIS BRADLEY |
