SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 52, by BLISS CARMAN Poet's Biography First Line: In the land of kisses Last Line: The rapture for us both. Subject(s): Kisses | ||||||||
In the land of kisses The very winds were stirred To mortal speech. But this is The only tale I heard. In the land of kisses Your mouth is a red bloom, Aching to know the blisses That perish and consume. In the land of kisses My mouth is a red moth Searching in the dusk. And this is The rapture for us both. | 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 MORE ANCIENT MARINER by BLISS CARMAN |
