ASLEEP! O sleep a little while, white pearl! And let me kneel, and let me pray to thee, And let me call Heaven's blessing on thine eyes, And let me breathe into the happy air, That doth enfold and touch thee all about, Vows of my slavery, my giving up, My sudden adoration, my great love! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A BIRTHDAY SONG by SIDNEY LANIER A DOUBLE BALLAD OF GOOD COUNSEL by FRANCOIS VILLON THE MAN CHRIST by THERESE (KARPER) LINDSEY THE MOWER'S SONG by ANDREW MARVELL ON IMAGINATION by PHILLIS WHEATLEY A GIRL'S SONG IN THE WILDERNESS by ANNA HEMPSTEAD BRANCH |
