Some day I'll sing, with golden words, A love song to my wife, Surpassing violins and birds, A song of love and life. The song shall spring from deepest earth, And leap to loftiest sky. All praise of beauty and of worth Shall fling their banners high. The song shall touch the tender heart And thrill the ardent mind, All charms of nature and of art Deliciously combined. But since I cannot sing you now That worthy song of bliss, Dear wife! I print upon your brow This dumb, adoring kiss! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CONTRA MORTEM: THE CHILD by HAYDEN CARRUTH JAWEH AND ALLAH BATTLE by ALLEN GINSBERG COMPANIONS by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON DESIRE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON POETRY by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON |
