THE coals have lower, fainter burned; These pages, worn and finger-turned, Fade with the light. No friend is here; we are alone, My thoughts and I, while winds do moan, And speeds the night. A host of fancies fill the room, And voices whispering from the gloom Are here with me. Can thoughts take form? A well-loved face, Lit, as of old, with fairest grace, I surely see. Not length of days, not land nor sea, Have power to sever thee from me, O truest heart. To wait in patience, shine or rain, Longing until we meet again, Shall be my part. And I had doubted this, and gave Full room to aching grief, a grave Amid my dreams. Sweet vision with thy coming, ring Memories of meads and birds that sing O'er purling streams. The morning spans the eastern hills; The yearning flower its petal fills With gentle rains; All life assumes a brighter robe: e mine to trust, to love, to hope, To meet again. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MILLE ET UN SENTIMENTS (PREMIERS CENTS) by DENISE DUHAMEL SUNDAY AFTERNOON by CLARENCE MAJOR I BROOD ABOUT SOME CONCEPTS, FOR EXAMPLE by ALICIA SUSKIN OSTRIKER EASY LESSONS IN GEOPHAGY by KENNETH REXROTH GENTLEMEN, I ADDRESS YOU PUBLICLY by KENNETH REXROTH ON FLOWER WREATH HILL: 1 by KENNETH REXROTH TO A SCREEN-MAKER by MARIANNE MOORE THE ARAB by CHARLES STUART CALVERLEY TALES OF A WAYSIDE INN: THE THIRD DAY: AZRAEL by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW |
