BEWILDERMENT, by VERNE TAYLOR BENEDICT First Line: Often we wondered - over and over Last Line: Was a stretch of sky where stars came through. | |||
Often we wondered -- over and over -- Why she followed an errant rover. She who loved most a quiet room, The touch of silk, a rose in bloom, She who wanted beyond all things A sun-warmed garden, bruised her wings Trying to follow a wild bird's tune June to November -- back to June. And all the roof she ever knew Was a stretch of sky where stars came through. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WIND IN THE WILLOWS by VERNE TAYLOR BENEDICT CONTRA MORTEM: THE THAW by HAYDEN CARRUTH FISH-LEAP FALL by ROBERT FROST CITY LYRICS by NATHANIEL PARKER WILLIS SPIRITUAL WORSHIP by BERNARD BARTON SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 82 by BLISS CARMAN THE EMBARRASSING EPISODE OF LITTLE MISS MUFFET by GUY WETMORE CARRYL TO THE CHILDREN by PHOEBE CARY HERE IS THE PLACE WHERE LOVELINESS KEEPS HOUSE by MADISON JULIUS CAWEIN |
