SEVEN SAD SONNETS: 7. THEY MEET AGAIN, by MARY REYNOLDS ALDIS First Line: It chanced one day they met. Each in surprise Last Line: She had, she said, embraced philosophy. Subject(s): Reunions | |||
It chanced one day they met. Each in surprise Was extra glad, and unto each the other Spoke ardently with lighting lips and eyes, Bandying synonyms for "long lost brother." A cafe then and tea, and much to tell Of this and that and what the years had brought: She held again a mystery, for well He knew that she had found what he had sought. Gravely he questioned, saw her oddly gay, Uncovered guarded memories, and so Prayed that they meet again another day, Prayed that she would not lightly let him go. She shook her head: Alack, it might not be! She had, she said, embraced Philosophy. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...REUNION by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON HIGH SCHOOL REUNION by DENISE DUHAMEL AULD LANG SYNE by ROBERT BURNS SEMELE RECYCLED by CAROLYN KIZER FATHER AND SON by STANLEY JASSPON KUNITZ FACE TO FACE by ADRIENNE CECILE RICH THE LAST MAN by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE THIRD REUNION POEM by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE SEVEN SAD SONNETS: 1.
