A MIRACLE, by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR First Line: Neither in passion nor in play Last Line: Like an october violet. Subject(s): Kisses | ||||||||
NEITHER in passion nor in play, But dreamily, half unaware, We kissed as drowsy children may, Sliding to sleep from evening prayer. So brief, so calm, the passing touch That meant so little -- and so much. FOR memory sees the wondrous thing The moment stood too near to know. The fragile innocence of spring I thought had faded long ago, Our quiet lips found blossoming yet Like an October violet. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CHAMBER MUSIC: 31 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 34 by JAMES JOYCE KISSING AGAIN by DORIANNE LAUX PROMISES, PROMISES by PAUL MULDOON THE CITY OF THE OLESHA FRUIT by NORMAN DUBIE PENDULUM by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON A LYNMOUTH WIDOW by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR |
