BIRD of the swaying bough (@3Like the voice of a lover's vow@1), You shall hold for me ever, as now, The thrill of your morning song. Bubble of April light (@3Like the glance of a lover's sight@1), You shall into my winter night The soul of the noon prolong. Cloud of the wind-swept land (@3Like the touch of a lover's hand@1), In the memory you shall stand Though you flee from the flaming sky. Rose of the scattered bower (@3Like Love's most fragrant hour@1), When shall you lose your power? When I no more am I. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE COUNTESS CATHLEEN by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS THE ROMANCE OF THE SWAN'S NEST by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING CORN-LAW HYMN by EBENEZER ELLIOTT SONNET by KATHARINE REBECCA ADAMS HAUNTED by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH ABRAHAM by JOHN STUART BLACKIE THE GEOGRAPHER'S GLORY; OR, THE GLOBE IN 1730 by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN |
