After Parting

Oh I have sown my love so wide
That he will find it everywhere;
It will awake him in the night,
It will enfold him in the air.

I set my shadow in his sight
And I have winged it with desire,
That it may be a cloud by day
And in the night a shaft of fire.

Shelley B. Keats (1/31/2005 10:27:00 PM)
I think this is a very innovative poem in terms of content. Love here is tangible, i.e. wide, shaft of fire, etc. The ending is quite a startling image. The form of the poem is an excellent use of traditional versification.
