LOVE AND TIME, by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON Poet's Biography First Line: The longest night of the year, they say Last Line: Time was nothing and darkness best! Subject(s): Hearts; Love; Night; Time; Bedtime | ||||||||
THE longest night of the year, they say; By four of the clock, the dark comes down, And the hills loom dim and far away, While the lights wink out in the big, vague town. And yet, O Love, of the nights I know, This night was briefest, -- so brief, so blest. For you came and gave me your heart, and so Time was nothing and darkness best! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BREATH OF NIGHT by RANDALL JARRELL HOODED NIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS NIGHT WITHOUT SLEEP by ROBINSON JEFFERS WORKING OUTSIDE AT NIGHT by DENIS JOHNSON POEM TO TAKE BACK THE NIGHT by JUNE JORDAN COOL DARK ODE by DONALD JUSTICE POEM TO BE READ AT 3 A.M by DONALD JUSTICE ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT by BOB KAUFMAN BLACK SHEEP by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON |
