EPITAPH, by KENNETH SLADE ALLING First Line: Come jest awhile with me and talk Last Line: By night my name. | ||||||||
Come jest awhile with me and talk And talk awhile and laugh; Some day the one of us may write The other's epitaph. And if your hand shall write for me, Then let the words you write Say that I loved them equally, Blue day and starry night. Say I loved talking things like birds And prattling things like brooks, And that I learned from children's words And fell in love with books. And say I loved a girl or two, And one with hair like flame, And flame my heart was when she spoke By night my name. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BEAUTY by KENNETH SLADE ALLING ECSTACY by KENNETH SLADE ALLING FEBRUARY THAW by KENNETH SLADE ALLING FIRST ICE by KENNETH SLADE ALLING ICED BRANCHES by KENNETH SLADE ALLING MARSH MUSIC by KENNETH SLADE ALLING ON THE PASSING OF THE LAST FIRE HORSE FROM MANHATTAN ISLAND by KENNETH SLADE ALLING PEBBLES by KENNETH SLADE ALLING |
