THE SHADOW, by PHOEBE CARY Poet's Biography First Line: She was so good, we thought before she died Last Line: The awful shadow fell across her face. Subject(s): Death; Heaven; Doubt | ||||||||
SHE was so good, we thought before she died To see new glory on her path descend; And could not tell, till she has gone inside, Why there was darkness at her journey's end. And then we saw that she had stood, of late, So near the entrance to that holy place, That, from the Eternal City's open gate, The awful shadow fell across her face. | Other Poems of Interest...THE OLIVE GARDEN by RANDALL JARRELL BIRTH-DUES by ROBINSON JEFFERS SECOND NOETIC HYMN by ROBERT KELLY WALLACE STEVENS' LETTERS by ROBERT BLY IT COULDN'T BE DONE by EDGAR ALBERT GUEST |
