SAID the tree upon earth to the star in the sky: "She sleeps, and is here at my feet; She walked in my shadow in days gone by, And her deeds and her life were sweet." Said the star in the sky to the tree upon earth: "She dwells in my home far above Thy dark little world of the home of her birth; She was born for the light and for love." O tree, and O star, she was all that you say, And her soul like a star did shine; Yet little you know of God's great way: She is here in this heart of mine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...OCTAVES: 15 by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON WYNKEN, BLYNKEN AND NOD by EUGENE FIELD SONNET: TO DANTE by GUIDO CAVALCANTI THE INVITATION (TO TOM HUGHES) by CHARLES KINGSLEY SONNET: 18 by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE TO A PORTRAIT by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS |
