Notes About The Poem

Cupid Don'T Let It Miss

Cupid, drawback your bow, please
Don’t let it miss, don’t let it tease
Release the string, let the arrow wheeze
Squeeze through the trees 
Carrying it off in the gentle breeze 
Pierce my lover’s heart when I’m on my knees


Cupid drew back his bow while I proposed She saw the ring in my hand and froze Weeping shrieks of passion came up close Caressing my face saying I do when I arose
