GO NOW', by PHILIP EDWARD THOMAS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Like the touch of rain she was Last Line: And will not open again. Alternate Author Name(s): Eastaway, Edward; Thomas, Edward Subject(s): Farewell; Love; Parting | ||||||||
Like the touch of rain she was On a man's flesh and hair and eyes When the joy of walking thus Has taken him by surprise: With the love of the storm he burns, He sings, he laughs, well I know how, But forgets when he returns As I shall not forget her 'Go now'. Those two words shut a door Between me and the blessed rain That was never shut before And will not open again. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE THREE CHILDREN by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN STUDY #2 FOR B.B.L. by JUNE JORDAN WATCHING THE NEEDLEBOATS AT SAN SABBA by JAMES JOYCE SESTINA: TRAVEL NOTES by WELDON KEES |
