FIRST ANNIVERSARY, by MIRIAM ALLEN DEFORD First Line: A year ago tonight I did not lie alone Last Line: But morning came. | |||
A year ago tonight I did not lie alone. I felt your pulses beat, your flesh and bone Against my own. A year ago tonight I saw your heart-lit eyes, Blue with that beauty pain could not disguise, Or grief surprise. A year ago tonight I heard you speak my name. My spirit had a home, my being an aim. But morning came. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ESSENCE by MIRIAM ALLEN DEFORD THE MUSICMAKER'S CHILD by MIRIAM ALLEN DEFORD TRAVELLER'S DUTY by MIRIAM ALLEN DEFORD THE PHOSPHORESCENT MAN by KAREN SWENSON IN AFTER DAYS; RONDEAU by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON WERE I BUT HIS OWN WIFE by ELLEN MARY PATRICK DOWNING THE THREE LITTLE KITTENS (A CAT'S TALE, WITH ADDITIONS) by ELIZA LEE CABOT FOLLEN WINTER SLEEP by EDITH MATILDA THOMAS |
