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...THE RHINOCEROS by HILAIRE BELLOC ONCE BY THE PACIFIC by ROBERT FROST SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: HARRY WILMANS by EDGAR LEE MASTERS LOCKSLEY HALL by ALFRED TENNYSON AMERICA by JAMES MONROE WHITFIELD RING FROM THE RIM OF THE GLASS, BOYS by JOHN CLINTON ANTHONY GOODS TRAIN AT NIGHT by KENNETH H.
