Amy Lowell Quotes About Heart

Quotes about: Heart

• I am tired, Beloved, of chafing my heart against the want of you; of squeezing it into little inkdrops, And posting it.

  Missing You, Missing Someone, Tired

  Amy Lowell, Melissa Bradshaw (2002). “Selected Poems of Amy Lowell”, p.52, Rutgers University Press

• I ask but one thing of you, only one, That always you will be my dream of you; That never shall I wake to find untrue All this I have believed and rested on, Forever vanished, like a vision gone Out into the night. Alas, how few There are who strike in us a chord we knew Existed, but so seldom heard its tone We tremble at the half-forgotten sound. The world is full of rude awakenings And heaven-born castles shattered to the ground, Yet still our human longing vainly clings To a belief in beauty through all wrongs. O stay your hand, and leave my heart its songs!

  Broken Heart, Love Is, Thinking

  Amy Lowell (1955). “Complete poetical works: With an introd. by Louis Untermeyer”

• Life is a stream On which we strew Petal by petal the flower of our heart; The end lost in dream, They float past our view, We only watch their glad, early start. Freighted with hope, Crimsoned with joy, We scatter the leaves of our opening rose; Their widening scope, Their distant employ, We never shall know. And the stream as it flows Sweeps them away, Each one is gone Ever beyond into infinite ways. We alone stay While years hurry on, The flower fared forth, though its fragrance still stays.
