THREATENED TEARS by FRANCIS THOMPSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: DO NOT LOOSE THOSE RAINS THY WET
Last Line: IN THOSE WATERY HYADES.

DO not loose those rains thy wet
Eyes, my Fair, unsurely threat;
Do not, Sweet, do not so!
Thou canst not have a single woe,
But this sad and doubtful weather
Overcasts us both together.
In the aspect of those known eyes
My soul's a captain weatherwise.
Ah me! what presages it sees
In those watery Hyades.
