I RENEWED some forgotten friendships: My old friend, the sky, and my comrade, the open air: My dear cronies, the hills, and my lover, the sea: I went out and we had an afternoon of it together. They gave me tokens: You may taste the sea on my cheeks, and the fragrance of the hills is in my hair: And the tan on my face is a memento of the friendly sky. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE EXILE TO HIS WIFE by JOSEPH BRENAN THE GOOD GREAT MAN by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE THE WELCOME by THOMAS OSBORNE DAVIS DIBDIN'S GHOST by EUGENE FIELD BLUE-BUTTERFLY DAY by ROBERT FROST LINES WRITTEN IN AN OVID by MATTHEW PRIOR THE FLIGHT OF THE GEESE by CHARLES GEORGE DOUGLAS ROBERTS |
