HEART'S TIDE, by ETHEL M. HEWITT First Line: I thought I had forgotten you Last Line: Your memory floods them and I weep. Subject(s): Love - Loss Of; Nature | ||||||||
I thought I had forgotten you, So far apart our lives were thrust! 'Twas only as the earth forgets The seed the sower left in trust. 'Twas only as the creeks forget The tides that left their hollows dry; Or as the home-bound ship forgets Streamers of seaweed drifting by. My heart is earth that keeps untold The secret of the seeds that sleep. My thoughts are chalices of sand; Your memory floods them and I weep. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...INTERRUPTED MEDITATION by ROBERT HASS TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: HOME by LYN HEJINIAN WRITING IS AN AID TO MEMORY: 17 by LYN HEJINIAN LET US GATHER IN A FLOURISHING WAY by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA IN MICHAEL ROBINS?ÇÖS CLASS MINUS ONE by HICOK.
