WE KNOW, by MARTHA TAYLOR BROWN First Line: My heart and I know many things Last Line: Why tides must rise and poets sing. Subject(s): Hearts | ||||||||
My heart and I know many things: We know why singing birds have wings; Why moths, enthralled by mad desire Would rather die than shun the fire; Why spirits bruised can make brave show, While happiness must softly go; Why music's mystic trinity Holds peace, heartache and ecstacy; Why Woman, since the world began Feeds drop by drop, her heart to Man; How daisies dance and grasses wave Impartially above each grave; Why bees must hive, fruit fill the pod; How each soul fashions his own God. My heart and I know many a thing, Why tides must rise and poets sing. | Discover our poem explanations - click here!Other Poems of Interest...SENT ON A SHEET OF PAPER WITH A HEART SHAPE CUT OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF IT by JOHN HOLLANDER CARDIOLOGICAL by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS NOCTURNE OF REMEMBERED SPRING by CONRAD AIKEN COZY APOLOGIA; FOR FRED by RITA DOVE |
