ONCE again my heart is vanquish'd, And my rancour is subsiding; Once again hath May breath'd on me Feelings tender and confiding. Once more late and early haste I Through the walks the most frequented, Under every bonnet seek I For my fair one's face lamented. Once more at the verdant river On the bridge I take my station; Peradventure she will come there, And will see my desolation. In the waterfall's loud music Hear I once again soft sighing, And my gentle heart well knoweth What the white waves are replying, Once again in mazy pathways I am lost in dreamy vision, And the birds in every thicket Hold the fond fool in derision. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EVERYBODY KNOWS by DAVID IGNATOW THE AWAKENING by EDGAR LEE MASTERS MADEIRA FROM THE SEA by SARA TEASDALE THE RUINES OF TIME by EDMUND SPENSER THE WIFE'S SONG by ERNEST BENSHIMOL SUBH-I-KAZIB by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON |
