A SCHOOLGIRL SPEAKS, by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER Poet's Biography First Line: You are not like the others - that is all Last Line: And more myself, being a part of you. Alternate Author Name(s): Hooker, Brian | |||
You are not like the others -- that is all. I do not think you wonderful nor wise, Make you a hero in my reveries, Nor bend my fancy to your beck and call; Yet ... when you come, there seems a veil let fall, And little matters brighten and surprise -- I am afraid of something in your eyes, And I am glad that you are strong and tall. I have not given this new thing a name -- Not even to myself. You cannot see, And I should hate you if I thought you knew -- Only ... I am grown older since you came, Stronger, because your strength belongs to me, And more myself, being a part of you. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A CHARACTER by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER A LITTLE PERSON by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER A MAN'S SONG by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER A MAN-CHILD'S LULLABY by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER A PORTRAIT by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER A ROBIN'S SONG by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER A STITUATION by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER A WOMAN'S SONG by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER ABSENCES by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER AMULETS by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER |
