I HAVE dreamed old loves and lived old times Here in a moment's fancy, I have kissed mute lips and heard old chimes, And I'm once again with Nancy. I have gone once more down the flowered lane Where she and the moon were waiting, And I've whispered words of joy and pain, The old sweet words of mating. I have felt the pulse of her beating heart, The silk of her temple tresses, The deep, dumb pain when we came to part, And the rapture of caresses. I have borne the weight of the withered years Here in a moment's fancy, Have smiled old smiles and wept old tears, For I've been again with Nancy. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WISE WOMAN by SARA TEASDALE THE HOUSE BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD by SAM WALTER FOSS THE CREATION (A NEGRO SERMON) by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON WHAT TOMAS AN BUILE SAID IN A PUB by JAMES STEPHENS DARBY AND JOAN by FREDERIC EDWARD WEATHERLY IF THE POETS HAD FEARED THE ADVERTISERS by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS THE CONFIDENT SCIENTIST by ALEXIS TO HIS LATE MAJESTY, CONCERNING..TRUE FORM OF ENGLISH POETRY by JOHN BEAUMONT |
