I cannot lose the thought of you; It haunts me like a little song; It blends with all I see or do Each day, the whole day long. The train, the lights, the engine's throb, And that one stinging memory: Your brave smile broken with a sob Your face pressed close to me. Lips trembling far too much to speak; The arms that would not come undone; The kiss so salty on your cheek; The long, long trip begun. I could not miss you more, it seemed; But now I don't know what to say: It's harder than I ever dreamed With you so far away. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MUSKETAQUID by RALPH WALDO EMERSON FLOWERS by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW WITH A COPY OF CALVERLEY by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS DRINKING SONG (4) by ALCAEUS OF MYTILENE TO HAFIZ by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH MY NATIVE LAND by JOHANNA AMBROSIUS THE DEAD LEAF by ANTOINE VINCENT ARNAULT |
