A year ago tonight I did not lie alone. I felt your pulses beat, your flesh and bone Against my own. A year ago tonight I saw your heart-lit eyes, Blue with that beauty pain could not disguise, Or grief surprise. A year ago tonight I heard you speak my name. My spirit had a home, my being an aim. But morning came. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GRENADIER by ALFRED EDWARD HOUSMAN REBEL COLOR-BEARERS AT SHILOH by HERMAN MELVILLE MAY MORNING by CELIA LEIGHTON THAXTER THE REFORMER by JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER PSALM 23 by HENRY WILLIAMS BAKER |
