BEWILDERMENT, by VERNE TAYLOR BENEDICT First Line: Often we wondered - over and over Last Line: Was a stretch of sky where stars came through. | |||
Often we wondered -- over and over -- Why she followed an errant rover. She who loved most a quiet room, The touch of silk, a rose in bloom, She who wanted beyond all things A sun-warmed garden, bruised her wings Trying to follow a wild bird's tune June to November -- back to June. And all the roof she ever knew Was a stretch of sky where stars came through. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WIND IN THE WILLOWS by VERNE TAYLOR BENEDICT A COLONIAL MORNING DREAM by KAREN SWENSON GRANDMITHER, THINK NOT I FORGET by WILLA SIBERT CATHER THE LONELY HOUSE by EMILY DICKINSON A CORN SONG by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR ULTIMA THULE: THE CHAMBER OVER THE GATE by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW THE BOY AND THE BROOK by LEO ALISHAN MYSELF by HARRIET ELLEN (GRANNIS) AREY SONNETS OF MANHOOD: 10.
