YOU, by CHARLOTTE DEMOREST CURREN First Line: The path to the woods where the leaves lie dead Last Line: Far stretch of relentless sky, -- and you! Subject(s): Memory | |||
The path to the woods where the leaves lie dead And the stumps still stand that time has hollowed; Where many a luring smile has led And many an eager foot has followed; -- It draws me still as of old it drew, And I long for those vanished days, -- and you. The drip from the spring on the damp green moss, The violets in royal purple dresses; A sense of ineffable, mystical loss, Of you, with the April sun in your tresses. But December's here, and above is the blue Far stretch of relentless sky, -- and you! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MEMORY AS A HEARING AID by TONY HOAGLAND THE SAME QUESTION by JOHN HOLLANDER FORGET HOW TO REMEMBER HOW TO FORGET by JOHN HOLLANDER ON THAT SIDE by LAWRENCE JOSEPH MEMORY OF A PORCH by DONALD JUSTICE BEYOND THE HUNTING WOODS by DONALD JUSTICE SACRAFICE by CHARLOTTE DEMOREST CURREN |
