Poet Analysis

First Line: IN THE DARK PINE-WOOD
Last Line: SWEET LOVE, AWAY.
Subject(s): FORESTS; LOVE; WOODS;
In the dark pine wood

I would we lay,

In deep cool shadow

At noon of day.



How sweet to lie there,

Sweet to kiss,

Where the great pine-forest

Enaisled is!





Thy kiss descending

Sweeter were

With a soft tumult

Of thy hair.





O unto the pine-wood

At noon of day

Come with me now,

Sweet love, away.
