Poetry examples for “body and soul”

Excerpts from the ReadingWillow English Library collection.

And I, thy cowering self, in chains grown tame,
Bound to thy body and soul, named with thy name,
Life's iron heart, even Love's Fatality.'

There is a twofold _Silence_--sea and shore--
Body and soul. One dwells in lonely places,
Newly with grass o'ergrown; some solemn graces,

And gluttonous death, will instantly unjoint
My body and soul, and I shall sleep a space;
But my ever-waking part shall see that face,

And gluttonous death, will instantly unjoint
My body and soul, and I shall sleep a space;
But my ever-waking part shall see that face,

And blighting hope, who with the news of death
Struck body and soul as with a mortal blight,
She saw between the chestnuts, far beneath,

By such a Tie God only can unloose,
Body and Soul are Lovers Each of other.

In the lower earth in the years long still,
That body and soul so pure and gay?
Why your hair was amber, I shall divine,

Hold and have, there and then,
All her body and soul
That completes my whole,

To think I kill for her, at least,
Body and soul and peace and fame,
Alike youth's end and manhood's aim,

Whence comes it save from fortune setting free
Body and soul the purpose to pursue,
God traced for both? If fetters, not a few,
