LOST LOVE'S FLIGHT, by DONN BORING First Line: I see you now, yes barely, far away Last Line: That came to hide your angel's flight. Subject(s): Love - Loss Of | ||||||||
I see you now, yes barely, far away You round the bend and blend with amber shades Of autumn, fast growing grey. The clouds are rolling up from west To blot out all of you As now in brilliant shades You ride the sunset crest. The lustrous fangs of fire top mountains Seem they would engulf you To burn, as my heart strains That I might call you back. And all of no avail as now The leaves are whirling round To hide you and to take you Away to your grave with them. But now the world is cold and bare And all that lived has died And you are dead and gone 'neath snows of white That came to hide your angel's flight. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ROSE AND MURRAY by CONRAD AIKEN THOUGH WE NO LONGER POSSESS IT by MARK JARMAN THE GLORY OF THE DAY WAS IN HER FACE by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON LOVE COME AND GONE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 33 by JAMES JOYCE |
