THE TREE AND THE STAR, by SAMUEL VALENTINE COLE First Line: Said the tree upon earth to the star in the sky Last Line: She is here in this heart of mine. Subject(s): Hearts; Immortality; Love | |||
SAID the tree upon earth to the star in the sky: "She sleeps, and is here at my feet; She walked in my shadow in days gone by, And her deeds and her life were sweet." Said the star in the sky to the tree upon earth: "She dwells in my home far above Thy dark little world of the home of her birth; She was born for the light and for love." O tree, and O star, she was all that you say, And her soul like a star did shine; Yet little you know of God's great way: She is here in this heart of mine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD A LADY'S PORTRAIT by SAMUEL VALENTINE COLE |
