A poem by Archibald Lampman

Passion

________________________________________________
Title:     Passion
Author: Archibald Lampman [More Titles by Lampman]

As a weed beneath the ocean,
As a pool beneath a tree
Answers with each breath or motion
An imperious mastery;

So my spirit swift with passion
Finds in every look a sign,
Catching in some wondrous fashion
Every mood that governs thine.

In a moment it will borrow,
Flashing in a gusty train,
Laughter and desire and sorrow
Anger and delight and pain.






[The end]
Archibald Lampman's poem: Passion
