THE RETURN, by OSCAR WILLIAMS First Line: In some far and lonely midnight Last Line: Lead me out of the room. | |||
In some far and lonely midnight I shall arise as in a dream, And part dark curtains on a strange room Where mysterious candles gleam. I shall open an unknown book In that weird and wind-stirred place, And come upon a poem With a sad face. I shall listen to my dead heart's cry Faint through the years that are gone, And I shall feel over my shoulder The Silence looking on. And very softly he will touch me, And I shall turn toward the gloom; He will take my arm and quietly Lead me out of the room. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE GOLDEN FLEECE by OSCAR WILLIAMS THE SPIRIT OF THE NORTH by OSCAR WILLIAMS BATTLE OF BRITAIN by CECIL DAY LEWIS 1914: 5.
