Analysis of A poem to my darling
A wondrous verse in the corner of her eyes!
A mesmeric lyric, in her, in her lotus eyes!
Oh an enchanting poem her eyes so haunting!
Verses, verses,every where oh melodious verses!
So what, so what, perceived, perceived?
What not, what not, so well perceived?
What in what, I didn't so mention?
Why so, why so, not such mention?
Oh my looks in the looks, all looks-
My soul, so in the soul, so love,
My words, not charming the inner chest oh bright-
All so known, so known, well right,
Weeps so, weeps so, the hermit of anger?
Or laugh oh laugh, oh, the hermit of anger?
Playing, playing, oh the hermit of anger?
Take a bath, take a bath, oh the hermit of anger?
Today truth, tomorrow fiction-
On the next day, nothing, nothing,
Painful truths, all following?
Filling, filling in the inner chest?
Unknown,unsaid, telling, telling?
Known, so known, all vanish?
A poem, poem, oh to my darling-
In a few words, poem, poem,
All so filled a poem, poem-
A poem, poem, oh to my darling,
Would you come, so come with me?
Then could fill,so fill me, fill me?
Could so be in my Soul, my soul-
As a charming song, oh song sole?
