AND ONE SHALL LIVE IN TWO, by JONATHAN HENDERSON BROOKS Poet's Biography First Line: Though he hung dumb upon her wall Last Line: And one shall live in two each year. Subject(s): Togetherness | ||||||||
Though he hung dumb upon her wall And was so very still and small -- A miniature, a counterpart, Yet did she press him to her heart On countless, little loving trips, And six times pressed him to her lips! As surely as she kissed him six, As sure as sand and water mix, Sure as canaries sweetly sing, And lilies come when comes the spring, The two have hopes for days of bliss When four warm lips shall meet in kiss; Four eyes shall blend to see as one, Four hands shall do what two have done, Two sorrow-drops will be one tear -- And one shall live in two each year. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A WOMAN WITH FLAXEN HAIR IN NORFOLK HEARD by ROBERT KELLY YESTERDAY FROM MY FEVER by GALWAY KINNELL IF YOU COULD COME SOFTLY by AUDRE LORDE MISGIVINGS by WILLIAM MATTHEWS NOW THAT YOU'RE HERE by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS SILENT IN THE MOONLIGHT by ROBERT BLY THE RESURRECTION by JONATHAN HENDERSON BROOKS |
