INVOCATION, by EDITH BLAND NESBIT Poem Explanation Poet's Biography First Line: Come to-night in a dream to-night Last Line: From the white of your gown and blue? Alternate Author Name(s): Nesbit, E.; Bland, Mrs. Hubert | |||
COME to-night in a dream to-night, Come as you used to do, Come in the gown, in the gown of white, Come in the ribbon of blue; Come in the virgin's colours you wear, Come through the dark and the dew, Come with the scent of the night in your hair, Come as you used to do. Blue and white of your eyes and your face, White of your gown and blue, Will you not come from the happy place, Come as you used to do? Tears so many, so many tears Where there were once so few -- Can they not wash the gray of the years From the white of your gown and blue? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A CHOICE by EDITH BLAND NESBIT A GREAT INDUSTRIAL CENTRE by EDITH BLAND NESBIT A LAST APPEAL by EDITH BLAND NESBIT A PARTING by EDITH BLAND NESBIT A PRAYER FOR THE KING'S MAJESTY; 22ND JANUARY, 1901 by EDITH BLAND NESBIT A STAR IN THE EAST; FOR FIRST ART EXHIBITION AT ST.
