ADVENTURE, by HILDA CONKLING Poet's Biography First Line: I went slowly through the wood of shadows Last Line: Don't blow away down the sky! | |||
I WENT slowly through the wood of shadows, Thinking always I should meet some one: There was no one. I found a hollow Sweet to rest in all night long: I did not stay. I came out beyond the trees To the moaning sea. Over the sea swam a cloud the outline of a ship: What if that ship held my adventure Under its sails? Come quickly to me, come quickly, I am waiting. I am here on the sand; Sail close! I want to go over the waves . . . The sand holds me back. Oh adventure, if you belong to me, Don't blow away down the sky! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LITTLE SNAIL by HILDA CONKLING A THING FORGOTTEN by HILDA CONKLING ABOUT MY DREAMS by HILDA CONKLING BIRD OF PARADISE by HILDA CONKLING BUTTERFLY (1) by HILDA CONKLING BUTTERFLY (2) by HILDA CONKLING |
