SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 48, by BLISS CARMAN Poet's Biography First Line: A breath upon my face Last Line: Tells me love is all. Subject(s): Love | |||
A breath upon my face, A whisper at my ear, Filling this leafy place, Tell me love is here. The sea-gloom of her eyes, The apples of her breast, The shadows where she lies, A-tremble or at rest, The little rosy knees, The beech-brown of her hair -- A thousand things like these Tell me love is fair. The clinging of her kiss, Her heart that looks beyond, The joys she will not miss, Tell me love is fond. And when I am away, A weary dying fall, Haunting the wind by day, Tells me love is all. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD A MORE ANCIENT MARINER by BLISS CARMAN |
