SHADOWS, by ELIZABETH GULLOWAY First Line: Shadows, like vague dreams of / youth Last Line: Just evade my grasp. Alternate Author Name(s): Galloway, Elizabeth Subject(s): Friendship; Love; Relationships | ||||||||
SHADOWS, like vague dreams of youth, Lie upon the grass Wavering as the little winds Through the tall trees pass. Far before us spreads the world, Fair and bright to see, River blue and orchards white, Meadows wide and free. Close beside me stands my friend, Winsome, dreaming soul, Twinkling with her changing eyes, And expressions droll. Shadows, world, and friend of mine, All that I would clasp And hold within my longing heart, Just evade my grasp. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AMERICAN WEDDING by ESSEX HEMPHILL PUNK HALF PANTHER by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA LET US GATHER IN A FLOURISHING WAY by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA THE DIFFERENCE by RICHARD HOWARD THE ADVANCE OF THE FATHER by FANNY HOWE THE CENTER OF GRAVITY by DAVID IGNATOW CONTEMPLATIONS by ANNE BRADSTREET A BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 19.
