A MEMORY, by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE First Line: I have dreamed old loves and lived old times Last Line: For I've been again with nancy. Subject(s): Memory | |||
I HAVE dreamed old loves and lived old times Here in a moment's fancy, I have kissed mute lips and heard old chimes, And I'm once again with Nancy. I have gone once more down the flowered lane Where she and the moon were waiting, And I've whispered words of joy and pain, The old sweet words of mating. I have felt the pulse of her beating heart, The silk of her temple tresses, The deep, dumb pain when we came to part, And the rapture of caresses. I have borne the weight of the withered years Here in a moment's fancy, Have smiled old smiles and wept old tears, For I've been again with Nancy. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MEMORY AS A HEARING AID by TONY HOAGLAND THE SAME QUESTION by JOHN HOLLANDER FORGET HOW TO REMEMBER HOW TO FORGET by JOHN HOLLANDER ON THAT SIDE by LAWRENCE JOSEPH MEMORY OF A PORCH by DONALD JUSTICE BEYOND THE HUNTING WOODS by DONALD JUSTICE A NIGHT FANCY by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE |
