RETURN, by GLADYS VERVILLE DEANE First Line: How pleasurable to have you here, my friend Last Line: But I have never been away from you. Subject(s): Autumn; Friendship; Reunions; Seasons; Fall | |||
How pleasurable to have you here, my friend, Asking how many pumpkins I will get This autumn; if the beetle sprays defend My roses; if the old pain bothers yet. I tell you, yes, we weathered winters well. Surely (I often try our duet score -- Alone. (I am a Farmer in the Dell; You play the modern compositions more.) You laugh, wanting each triviality, Because, you say -- and well I know it's true -- You have been gone infinitudes from me; But I have never been away from you. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...OUR AUTUMN by ELIZABETH AKERS ALLEN AN AUTUMN JOY by GEORGE ARNOLD A LEAF FALLS by MARION LOUISE BLISS THE FARMER'S BOY: AUTUMN by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD A LETTER IN OCTOBER by TED KOOSER AUTUMN EVENING by DAVID LEHMAN EVERYTHING THAT ACTS IS ACTUAL by DENISE LEVERTOV PATCHWORK by GLADYS VERVILLE DEANE |
