RECALL by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: WINTER -- ABACK SWEEPS THE INWARD EYE
Last Line: ('TIS WINTER, THE FALLING RAIN).

Winter—aback sweeps the inward eye,
Fleet o'er the trail to a rose-wreathed sky,
Girt by a cordon of dreams I dwell
Deep in the heart of the old-time spell.

Almost, the tones of your whispered word,
Almost! the thrill that your dear lips stirred,
Almost!! that wild pulsing throb again—
Almost!!!—
('Tis winter, the falling rain).
