CARCASSONNE, by EMMA VORIES MEYER First Line: I gazed upon the towers Last Line: If love should come too late! Alternate Author Name(s): Meyer, Emma Voorhees Subject(s): Carcassonne, France | |||
I gazed upon the towers Of ancient Carcassonne Whose walls defied the flowers That sought to climb thereon. I strengthened all defenses In walls about my heart Lest love, with his pretenses, Should rend the stones apart. But like that ancient city, The drawbridge at the gate Is rising. What a pity If love should come too late! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AT CARCASSONNE by WINFRED ERNEST GARRISON AT CARCASSONNE by GEORGE CRAIG STEWART LOVELINESS IN A GARDEN by EMMA VORIES MEYER WOODROW WILSON by EMMA VORIES MEYER CATARINA TO CAMOENS by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING A SHROPSHIRE LAD: 9 by ALFRED EDWARD HOUSMAN |
