ILLITERATE, by LILIAN ARNOLD First Line: Why can you not read Last Line: In syllables that rhapsodize? Subject(s): Illiteracy | |||
Why can you not read The language of my eyes? Blatant words alone you heed, Blind, blind to my silent cries. Catch the message at its source, It loses sweetness in transit As the river in its course Lacks freshness at its outlet. Why can you not read The language of my eyes? Must I blazon forth my need In syllables that rhapsodize? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IF I COULD ONLY WRITE by RAMON DE CAMPOAMOR HIS PRAYER FOR ABSOLUTION by ROBERT HERRICK TOUJOURS AMOUR by EDMUND CLARENCE STEDMAN |
