A Pageant And Other Poems.

Topics: classic

Sonnets are full of love, and this my tome     Has many sonnets: so here now shall be     One sonnet more, a love sonnet, from me     To her whose heart is my heart's quiet home,     To my first Love, my Mother, on whose knee     I learnt love-lore that is not troublesome;     Whose service is my special dignity,     And she my loadstar while I go and come.     And so because you love me, and because     I love you, Mother, I have woven a wreath     Of rhymes wherewith to crown your honored name:     In you not fourscore years can dim the flame     Of love, whose blessed glow transcends the laws     Of time and change and mortal life and death.
