A GRAVE SONG, by AMY LOWELL Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I've a pocketful of emptiness Last Line: Will you walk with me, will you follow the dead? Subject(s): Love - Loss Of | |||
I've a pocketful of emptiness for you, my Dear. I've a heart like a loaf was baked yesteryear, I've a mind like ashes spilt a week ago, I've a hand like a rusty, cracked corkscrew. Can you flourish on nothing and find it good? Can you make petrifaction do for food? Can you warm yourself at ashes on a stone? Can you give my hand the cunning which has gone? If you can, I will go and lay me down And kiss the edge of your purple gown. I will rise and walk with the sun on my head. Will you walk with me, will you follow the dead? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ROSE AND MURRAY by CONRAD AIKEN THOUGH WE NO LONGER POSSESS IT by MARK JARMAN THE GLORY OF THE DAY WAS IN HER FACE by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON LOVE COME AND GONE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 33 by JAMES JOYCE |
