They Flee from Me Poem by Sir Thomas Wyatt - Summary Analysis - They Flee from Me by Sir Thomas Wyatt
1503 - 1542
They flee from me that sometime did me seek,
With naked foot stalking in my chamber.
I have seen them gentle tame and meek
That now are wild and do not remember
That sometime they put themselves in danger
To take bread at my hand; and now they range
Busily seeking with a continual change.
Thanked be fortune, it hath been otherwise
Twenty times better; but once in special,
In thin array after a pleasant guise,
When her loose gown from her shoulders did fall,
And she me caught in her arms long and small;
And therewith all sweetly did me kiss,
And softly said, “Dear heart, how like you this?”
It was no dream, I lay broad waking;
But all is turned thorough my gentleness
Into a strange fashion of forsaking;
And I have leave to go of her goodness
And she also to use newfangleness.
But since that I so kindly am served,
I would fain know what she hath deserved.

As always iam gathering main theme of poem and poet biography briefly here it’s they flee from me untimely poem presents love , on one hand and deep , beautiful mystery , and another as rather cyclical power game between people, which in England royal court during 16 th century could literally be matter of life and death. Thomas Wyatt ( 1503-1542) he was English politician, ambassador, poet . He was famous because he introduced Italian sonnet, Terza Rima verse from French rondeau into English literature.
