MEETING, by ALICE FREEMAN PALMER First Line: One day we gave each other, one more day Last Line: To meet our future glad and unafraid. Subject(s): Relationships; Universities & Colleges - Faculty; Wellesley College | ||||||||
One day we gave each other, one more day. In the hot city streets we found a way To meet, and listen to the roar and din, And know we two sat safely folded in. The poets brought us their grave, chastening word, Brought murmurs of the river, breeze and bird; Till a strange gladness rested in the heart, Of all our coming years to be a part. And he had changed. Through days of absence still More masterful and tender; steady will Ruled all his face, and love looked through his eyes, And noble speech grew freer and more wise. Oh, more than conqueror he seemed that day! He stood beside me, turned, and went away. Then I knelt down, and for his sake I prayed To meet our future glad and unafraid. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LINES WRITTEN TO A TRANSLATOR OF GREEK POETRY by MARGARET STEELE ANDERSON THE LESSER BEAUTY by MARGARET STEELE ANDERSON WORK by MARGARET STEELE ANDERSON IN MEMORY: MISS JEWETT by GRACE ALLERTON ANDREWS HERE ENTER NOT by KATHARINE CANBY BALDERSTON I CLEANED MY HOUSE TODAY by KATHARINE CANBY BALDERSTON MY GARDEN by KATHARINE CANBY BALDERSTON SELLING HER ENGAGEMENT RING by KAREN SWENSON THE CONVERGENCE OF THE TWAIN; LINES ON LOSS OF THE TITANIC by THOMAS HARDY |
