SWEETHEART, DO YOU REMEMBER?, by ANITA MCCLENDON MILLER First Line: Sweetheart, do you remember when we two Last Line: Danced in my heart and sang a little song. | |||
Sweetheart, do you remember when we two Rode by the ocean when the tide was low, And how the sun made all the sea aglow With iridescent purple, green, and blue? The limpid air was drenched with molten gold, And brightly radiant was the cloud-flecked sky, And even the little sand crabs scurrying by Seemed filled with joy that made them over-bold. The little curling waves caressed the sand And then raced back to join the laughing sea, And it was happiness enough for me That you were there and I could touch your hand! The dancing sunbeams, as we rode along, Danced in my heart and sang a little song. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO A CERTAIN CHURCH by ANITA MCCLENDON MILLER MOTHER AND POET; TURIN, AFTER THE NEWS FROM GAETA, 1861 by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING THANKSGIVING DAY by LYDIA MARIA CHILD ODE ON THE POETICAL CHARACTER by WILLIAM COLLINS (1721-1759) THE IRISH RAPPAREES; A PEASANT BALLAD OF 1691 by CHARLES GAVAN DUFFY A FRAGMENT FROM THE AGAMEMNON OF AESCHYLOS by AESCHYLUS |
