CLOISTERED, by BERT HENDERSON First Line: A part of you no man will ever know Last Line: Belonging only to yourself...And god. | |||
A part of you no man will ever know -- A tiny flame that cannot be possessed; Where even love can never hope to go, and shall remain inviolate to quest. A part of you I cannot hope to learn, For even when your heart draws close to me, And dim unfathomed hours deeply burn, I find a part of you is roaming free Along the wind-swept reaches of the night, Or running down some half forgotten trail, As free as summer wind, too erudite In freedom's ways to know a finite goal. A lonely path no human thought has trod -- Belonging only to yourself...and God. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THIS LONELY ACRE by BERT HENDERSON TO MAY HOWARD JACKSON - SCULPTOR by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON CONTENTMENT, AFTER THE MANNER OF HORACE by CHARLES STUART CALVERLEY A TEMPLE TO FRIENDSHIP by THOMAS MOORE TO ATHENA by ALCAEUS OF MYTILENE PHILOSOPHY by JOHN KENDRICK BANGS TRAVELLING GIPSIES by CHARLES BAUDELAIRE MERCY PLEADS by LUCRETIA STOUT BELLOWS |
