I know you only by your tears ... I felt them falling on my face. I had wakened on a hush of dark, And lay I knew not in what place. O lady, not a dream was mine! Despair had told the truth to me, And I was fearful of life's call, And bitter with my destiny. But the warm touches of your soul Guided me to the darkened years. Sweet reconciler of my days, I know you only by your tears. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...D'ANNUNZIO by ERNEST HEMINGWAY 1915: THE TRENCHES by CONRAD AIKEN TO OUR PRESIDENT by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE HORSES by KATHARINE LEE BATES CHILDREN OF THE WAR by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE U-BOAT CREWS by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE RED CROSS NURSE by KATHARINE LEE BATES WAR PROFITS by KATHARINE LEE BATES |
