"When I was just as far as I could walk From here to-day, There was an hour All still When leaning with my head against a flower I heard you talk. Don't say I didn't, for I heard you say -- You spoke from that flower on the window sill -- Do you remember what it was you said?" "First tell me what it was you thought you heard." "Having found the flower and driven a bee away, I leaned my head, And holding by the stalk, I listened and I thought I caught the word -- @3What@1 was it? Did you call me by my name? Or did you say -- @3Someone@1 said 'Come' -- I heard it as I bowed." "I may have thought as much, but not aloud." "Well, so I came." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...APRIL - AND DYING by ANNE REEVE ALDRICH GLOW OF DAWN by ELIDA PATTISON BENTLEY DAWN MAGIC by CHARLOTTE LOUISE BERTLESEN MR.
