Since that this thing we call the world By chance on Atomes is begot, Which though in dayly motions hurld, Yet weary not, How doth it prove Thou art so fair and I in Love? Since that the soul doth onely lie Immers'd in matter, chaind in sense, How can Romira thou and I With both dispence? And thus ascend In higher flights then wings can lend. Since man's but pasted up of Earth, And ne're was cradled in the skies, What Terra Lemnia gave thee birth? What Diamond eyes! Or thou alone To tell what others were, came down? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A RHYMED REVIEW; 'LAUGHING MUSE' (BY ARTHUR GUITERMAN) by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS THE GOOD SHEPHERD WITH THE KID by MATTHEW ARNOLD VERSES TO HER WHO IS JUSTLY ENTITLED TO THEM by BERNARD BARTON ON SEEING AN OLD POET IN THE CAFE ROYAL by JOHN BETJEMAN THE THEME AND THE PUPPET by LETA GRACE BORLAND |
