UNATTAINABLE, by MAY ARNO First Line: Why hover close with tantalizing charm Last Line: While weeping inwardly with vain regret. | |||
Why hover close with tantalizing charm, And witching imagery's illusive gleam? Your fascinating, captivating dream Wakens my deadened soul to grave alarm, Lest the bruised spirit craving beauty's sky Ignore the unattainable again Fanning to flame, deep longing all in vain, And aim, anew, to scale the vault on high. You frolic, flirt and laugh along the way. Your path beguiling, calling, always near. Your heavenly goal alluring as you sway The destinies of millions. Filled with fear They follow the illusive star you set, While weeping inwardly with vain regret. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CONTRA MORTEM: THE TREES by HAYDEN CARRUTH TONE PICTURE (MALIPIERO: IMPRESSONI DAL VERO) by JEAN STARR UNTERMEYER THE BRIDGE BUILDER by WILL ALLEN DROMGOOLE WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON by JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL BLESSING THE LIGHTS by ALTER ABELSON NORTHERN EARTH MOOD by WILLIAM HERVEY ALLEN JR.
