REALIZATION, by LORETTA COWARD First Line: Go swiftly, little brown rabbit Last Line: Nor shatter your heart on stones. | |||
Go swiftly, little brown rabbit, nor shatter your heart on stones; blind leaves scatter before you from trees dumb as bones. I who see your running can tell you no more than they. The old faith that linked us is dead in the light of a wiser day when rabbits no longer speak, nor comfort lingers in leaves that break from the trees in October and shrivel under the trees, blind leaves crumble beneath you, dropped as old flesh from bones ... go swiftly nor shatter your heart on stones. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VISION OF BELSHAZZAR by GEORGE GORDON BYRON TO AN UNBORN PAUPER CHILD by THOMAS HARDY STONEWALL JACKSON'S WAY by JOHN WILLIAMSON PALMER THE SCORPION by WILLIAM PLOMER FACADE: 27.
