Come not near my songs, You who are not my lover, Lest from out that ambush Leaps my heart upon you! When my songs are glowing As an almond thicket With the bloom upon it, Lies my heart in ambush All amid my singing; Come not near my songs, You who are not my lover! Do not hear my songs, You who are not my lover! Over-sweet the heart is, Where my love has bruised it, Breathe you not that fragrance, You who are not my lover. Do not stoop above my song, With its languor on you, Lest from out my singing Leaps my heart upon you! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: GEORGE GRAY by EDGAR LEE MASTERS SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: THE UNKNOWN by EDGAR LEE MASTERS EXPLICATION OF AN IMAGINARY TEXT by JAMES GALVIN ARMAGEDDON by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON LITTLE BROTHER'S STORY by KATHERINE MANSFIELD |
