DESIRE, by ROBERT BROWN First Line: If I could have one shining wish Last Line: Through love-lit human eyes! Subject(s): Desire | ||||||||
If I could have one shining wish Of all the starry host, Of all the wondrous Sisterhood This one I'd treasure most: That you should slip back from the skies And stand here by my side, As on that sunlit long ago When you became my bride, And I should hold you by the hand And read, -- God is so wise To give His choicest gift to men Through love-lit human eyes! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AMERICAN WEDDING by ESSEX HEMPHILL HISTORY OF DESIRE by TONY HOAGLAND ARISTOTLE TO PHYLLIS by JOHN HOLLANDER |
