DEDICATION IN THESE DAY by HAYDEN CARRUTH

Poet Analysis

First Line: WHAT WORDS CAN MAKE
Last Line: for now for you / again
Subject(s): PLEASURE;
What words can make
seems next to nothing now
a tune a measure

Yet
I have seen you with
your eyes wet
with pleasure for their sake

For this then
these few
for now for you
again
