MOON-BRIGHT DREAMS, by WILLIAM EDWARD ADAMS First Line: How quiet I float Last Line: As out into life we go. Subject(s): Hearts; Love | |||
How quiet I float, In my light-keeled boat, From the shadows that hide the shore! And with love at my side Glide out on the tide That shall turn for us nevermore. A whispered word And our souls are stirred With the story that never grows old, While a form of grace With a beautiful face For love's first perfect moment I hold. While the glimmering sheen Of the moon's bright beam Floats down to the depths below My heart is bright With a purer light As out into life we go. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD MY CRYSTAL BRIDE by WILLIAM EDWARD ADAMS |
