I COULD, by ELIZABETH WARREN JONES First Line: I could live riotously / from sun to sun Last Line: As moonlight on a frosted sill. Subject(s): Free Will & Determinism | |||
I could live riotously From sun to sun; I could walk the broad, free path -- Shun the narrow one. I could snatch with ruthless hand All that comes my way -- Were it right or were it wrong -- It were mine to pay. I could arm my woman's wit With a sword of flame, Match my skill with Satan In a subtle game -- Yet, here I lie as white and still As moonlight on a frosted sill. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PRO FEMINA: ONE by CAROLYN KIZER MIDWAY by WILLIAM DEAN HOWELLS AMORETTI: 67 by EDMUND SPENSER ONE WOMAN by ELIZABETH WARREN JONES POSTHUMOUS by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON WINTER SONG by KATHERINE MANSFIELD A REPUBLIC! by EDGAR LEE MASTERS TOM'S GARLAND: UPON THE UNEMPLOYED by GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS PEARLS OF THE FAITH: 99.
