A SPRIG OF ROSEMARY by AMY LOWELL

Poet Analysis

First Line: I CANNOT SEE YOUR FACE
Last Line: And the soft brightness which is your soul
Subject(s): GAYS & LESBIANS; HOMOEROTICISM; LESBIANS; GAY WOMEN; GAY MEN;
I cannot see your face.
When I think of you,
It is your hands which I see.
Your hands
Sewing,
Holding a book,
Resting for a moment on the sill of a window.
My eyes keep always the sight of your hands,
But my heart holds the sound of your voice,
And the soft brightness which is your soul
