SONG, by IRENE RUTHERFORD MCLEOD Poet's Biography First Line: Is love, then, so simple, my dear Last Line: With eternity in my hand. Alternate Author Name(s): De Selincourt, Aubrey, Mrs. | |||
Is love, then, so simple my dear? The opening of a door, And seeing all things clear? I did not know before. I had thought it unrest and desire Soaring only to fall, Annihilation and fire: It is not so at all. I feel no desperate will, But I think I understand Many things, as I sit quite still, With Eternity in my hand. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MOTHER TO SON by IRENE RUTHERFORD MCLEOD OF ANY OLD MAN by ISAAC ROSENBERG A SHROPSHIRE LAD: 15 by ALFRED EDWARD HOUSMAN RHOECUS by JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL ON THE HOME GUARDS; WHO PERISHED ...
