'TIS not my home -- he made it home With earnest love and care; How can it be my own dear home, And he no longer there? I asked to meet my father's eyes, But they were closed for me; My father, would that I were laid In the dark grave with thee. Where shall I look for constant love, To answer unto mine? Others have many kindred hearts, But I had only thine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PLAYING DEAD by ANDREW HUDGINS PRAYER BEFORE BED by ANDREW HUDGINS THE FUNERAL SERMON by ANDREW HUDGINS ELEGY FOR MY FATHER, WHO IS NOT DEAD by ANDREW HUDGINS EUROPE AND AMERICA by DAVID IGNATOW EUROPE AND AMERICA by DAVID IGNATOW ESTATE SALE by WAYNE KOESTENBAUM CALYPSO WATCHING THE OCEAN by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON |
