TOWARDS DEMOCRACY: PART 3. A RIVERDERCI, by EDWARD CARPENTER Poet's Biography First Line: Once more in dreams, wandering along the road by the sea Last Line: And laughing part with bright a rivederci. Subject(s): Absence; Love; Separation; Isolation | ||||||||
ONCE more in dreams, wandering along the road by the sea, I tarry a moment leaning my elbows on the wall beside you I look out over the blue waves with your eyes, and feel the sun on me as you that feel it; My mother it is that sits in the balcony among her pots of oleander in the little narrow street, my boat that lies half-heeled upon the sand; These are my mountains that I love, This is your face and mine clear-cut upon the air. Your life-warm lips I kiss and mine you kiss again, And laughing part with bright a rivederci. | Other Poems of Interest...AFTER CALLIMACHUS by JOHN HOLLANDER THE EVENING OF THE MIND by DONALD JUSTICE CHRISTMAS AWAY FROM HOME by JANE KENYON THE PROBLEM by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES WHEN A WOMAN LOVES A MAN by DAVID LEHMAN THIS UNMENTIONABLE FEELING by DAVID LEHMAN |
