SONGLET by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR

Poet Analysis

First Line: PLEASURE! WHY THUS DESERT THE HEART
Last Line: OR GIVE SO MUCH!
Pleasure! why thus desert the heart
In its spring-tide?
I could have seen her, I could part,
And but have sigh'd!

O'er every youthful charm to stray,
To gaze, to touch..
Pleasure! why take so much away,
Or give so much!
