ANSWER, by EDITH E. DE RIENZ First Line: After the storm is over Last Line: A life was made for that! Subject(s): Life | |||
After the storm is over -- After the fury is passed, Then comes the breath of clover -- The storm was spent for that! After the first wild longing Has ripped the soul from its own, After the lone deed's wronging -- Then must that soul atone. After its passion is cold, And heart had time to crack -- Taken from flame is the gold -- A life was made for that! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PRIVILEGE OF BEING by ROBERT HASS SEAWATER STIFFENS CLOTH by JANE HIRSHFIELD |
