LET NO BIRD SING, by VERNE TAYLOR BENEDICT First Line: Tread softly here, upon this spot Last Line: Love died, and it was night. Subject(s): Love - Loss Of | ||||||||
Tread softly here, upon this spot Love died. Let no bird sing. Let no sound break within this place -- Love died, and with it spring. So swiftly then the sun went down Robbing the world of light -- A pale moon rode a star-less sky -- Love died, and it was night. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ROSE AND MURRAY by CONRAD AIKEN THOUGH WE NO LONGER POSSESS IT by MARK JARMAN THE GLORY OF THE DAY WAS IN HER FACE by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON LOVE COME AND GONE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 33 by JAMES JOYCE A SCOTCH SONG by JOANNA BAILLIE BEWILDERMENT by VERNE TAYLOR BENEDICT |
