THE day is come that I knew must be (Nothing may trouble me any more) Love has looked on me wistfully, Kissed me and left me and closed the door. Free he went -- as he entered free -- But with him too went the dread I bore. The day is come I knew must be, Nothing may trouble me any more. Always I knew it must come to me -- This time I have warded yet waited for, With a heart that broke at its certainty! O, the joy and the hope and the dread are o'er! The day is come that I knew must be, Nothing may trouble me any more. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LOON ON FORRESTER'S POND by HAYDEN CARRUTH HERO-WORSHIP; SONNET by AMY LOWELL AUGUST MOONRISE by SARA TEASDALE A COMPARISON by WILLIAM COWPER GERONTION by THOMAS STEARNS ELIOT THE ICE by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON MONODY ON THE DEATH OF WENDELL PHILLIPS by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH |
