UNFINISHED, by LAILE EUBANK First Line: There's something lovely Last Line: Would meet, but do not dare. | |||
There's something lovely In a thing unfinished -- A night that's almost changed to morn. There's something tantalizing in this symbol -- A thing about to be, and yet unborn. A symphony that's not completed, The drops left in a goblet, clear, A hint of fragrance, lost, yet half-remembered, A wave of laughter touched with notes of fear. A bud that soon may chance to open, The indecision of the twilight air, Of lips that poised for love's expression Would meet, but do not dare. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A CRADLE SONG by PADRAIC COLUM GLOTTO'S TOWER by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW THE SONG OF HIAWATHA: HIAWATHA'S FASTING by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW THE BLESSED DAMOZEL by DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI SUNDAY UP THE RIVER: 15 by JAMES THOMSON (1834-1882) ON THE LOSS OF PROFESSOR FISHER by JOHN GARDINER CALKINS BRAINARD |
