GIVE NOT TO ME by WILLIAM WATSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: GIVE NOT TO ME, MID THE THUNDER
Last Line: IN THE EARTH'S PRIMEVAL THROES.

GIVE not to me, mid the thunder
And speed of the world's hot wheels,
Such love as perhaps the Marble
For the Alabaster feels.

But love me with love as fiery
As the furnace whence arose
Both Marble and Alabaster,
In the Earth's primeval throes.
