THAT YEAR, by BELLE WILLEY GUE First Line: It stands alone and so it must remain Last Line: To be alive—that year you made divine. | |||
It stands alone and so it must remain: No other time will ever seem to me As much a part of perfect harmony. Upon it rested no defiling stain, Nor was it marred by poverty or pain. That year was like no other that will be, And I will revel in its memory— Well do I know it will not come again. For every day I looked into your eyes, And every day I heard your tender voice, And I was yours and you were wholly mine. My wealth was limitless, and I could rise Above all human ills. I could rejoice To be alive—that year you made divine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...I COULD TAKE by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE WIND AT THE DOOR by WILLIAM BARNES THE CITY OF GOD by SAMUEL JOHNSON (1822-1882) SONNET: LOVE'S ETHIC by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON THE STUBBORN BELIEVER by BERTON BRALEY MR.
