Sonnet 03 Unlike are we unlike O princely Heart Poem 

………………. by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Unlike are we, unlike, O princely Heart!
Unlike our uses and our destinies.

Our ministering two angels look surprise
On one another, as they strike athwart
Their wings in passing.
Thou, bethink thee, art
A guest for queens to social pageantries,
With gages from a hundred brighter eyes
Than tears even can make mine, to play thy part
Of chief musician.
What hast thou to do
With looking from the lattice-lights at me,
A poor, tired, wandering singer, singing through
The dark, and leaning up a cypress tree?
The chrism is on thine head,?on mine, the dew,?
And Death must dig the level where these agree.
