SUNSHINE AND SHADOW, by ROBERT BROWN First Line: The winds are laughing along the fields Last Line: So the river of time runs slow tonight. Subject(s): Aging | |||
The winds are laughing along the fields, The birds are singing, the flowers are fair; My feet are light on the hills of joy, And morning brings not a thought of care. The sunlight dances across the waves, And bright are your eyes, my heart's delight! And life is a song we two can sing -- And the river of time runs fast tonight. The winds are sobbing along the fields, The birds are silent, the trees are bare; My feet have forgotten the hills of joy And morning comes with its stab of care; The sunlight glances across the waves -- Your eyes are dim -- O my heart's delight! And life is a song one cannot sing So the river of time runs slow tonight. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AFTER THE GENTLE POET KOBAYASHI ISSA by ROBERT HASS MEMORY AS A HEARING AID by TONY HOAGLAND AMOROSA AND COMPANY by CONRAD AIKEN GRAY WEATHER by ROBINSON JEFFERS FROM THE SPANISH by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON WHERE? by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE LITTLE VAGABOND, FR.
