INTERPRETED, by CAROLINE GILTINAN Poet's Biography First Line: Now I know why ivy Last Line: While I lie against your breast. Alternate Author Name(s): Harlow, Leo P., Mrs. Subject(s): Love | |||
Now I know why ivy Climbs against the wall Striving to be graceful, Greener and more tall. Now I see why swallows Sweep across the sky In their swift excitement, Shrilling as they fly. Now I hear all music says; The stream's low murmuring. Now I know why gardens grow And birds forever sing. All of earth and heaven, God's grandeur, with the rest, I glimpse in flashing worship While I lie against your breast. | 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 OVERNIGHT, A ROSE by CAROLINE GILTINAN |
