SONNET PRIDE, by HALE C. COLE First Line: As dawn comes to a glistening forest glade Last Line: Brought life's supreme completion when you came. | |||
As dawn comes to a glistening forest glade Where only beauty such as yours inspires Within the thicket countless feathered choirs To simulate your voice in their aubade, While odors of a cherished absentee Are wafted from the luscious clover blooms Wherein the bees discover treasure rooms Replete with nectar as your lips to me; So did my other senses acquiesce With feeling in a paean to acclaim Your presence, herald of that happiness Too deep for profanation by a name, -- For love, the all of all, with its caress Brought life's supreme completion when you came. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SIFTING OF PETER by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW HE FELL AMONG THIEVES by HENRY JOHN NEWBOLT WOMAN'S BEAUTY by LASCELLES ABERCROMBIE SEEING HIS OWN PICTURE by PHILIP AYRES THE BLAZING HEART by ALICE WILLIAMS BROTHERTON THE WANDERER: 5.
