Explore "Poems: SONNET" by Alice Meynell on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A poet of one mood in all my lays, / Ranging all life to sing one only love, / Like a west wind across the world I move, / Sweeping my harp of floods mine own wild ways.
The countries change, but not the west-wind days / Which are my songs. My soft skies shine above, / And on all seas the colours of a dove, / And on all fields a flash of silver greys.
I make the whole world answer to my art / And sweet monotonous meanings. In your ears / I change not ever, bearing, for my part, / One thought that is the treasure of my years, / A small cloud full of rain upon my heart / And in mine arms, clasped, like a child in tears.
