RETURN, by GLADYS VERVILLE DEANE First Line: How pleasurable to have you here, my friend Last Line: But I have never been away from you. Subject(s): Autumn; Friendship; Reunions; Seasons; Fall | |||
How pleasurable to have you here, my friend, Asking how many pumpkins I will get This autumn; if the beetle sprays defend My roses; if the old pain bothers yet. I tell you, yes, we weathered winters well. Surely (I often try our duet score -- Alone. (I am a Farmer in the Dell; You play the modern compositions more.) You laugh, wanting each triviality, Because, you say -- and well I know it's true -- You have been gone infinitudes from me; But I have never been away from you. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...OUR AUTUMN by ELIZABETH AKERS ALLEN AN AUTUMN JOY by GEORGE ARNOLD A LEAF FALLS by MARION LOUISE BLISS THE FARMER'S BOY: AUTUMN by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD A LETTER IN OCTOBER by TED KOOSER AUTUMN EVENING by DAVID LEHMAN EVERYTHING THAT ACTS IS ACTUAL by DENISE LEVERTOV PATCHWORK by GLADYS VERVILLE DEANE VESTAL by GLADYS VERVILLE DEANE SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: DIPPOLD THE OPTICIAN by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
