Your heart is bound tightly, let Beauty beware, It is not hers to set Free from the snare. Tell her a bleeding hand Bound it and tied it, Tell her the knot will stand Though she deride it; One who withheld so long All that you yearned to take, Has made a snare too strong For Beauty's self to break. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FLOWER GUIDANCE by ROBERT FROST MANHATTAN, 1609 by EDWIN MARKHAM BLIZZARD by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS BE STRONG by MALTBIE DAVENPORT BABCOCK TO CHLOE WHO FOR HIS SAKE WISHED HERSELF YOUNGER by WILLIAM CARTWRIGHT LEISTON ABBEY by BERNARD BARTON HYMNE (TO BE SUNG WITH THREE VOICES) by JOSEPH BEAUMONT |
