IN THE BEAUTIFUL, by GRACE DENIO LITCHFIELD Poet's Biography First Line: Be still. Be still. Do not speak Last Line: Or stay—and be still! Subject(s): Hearts; Love - Loss Of; Solitude; Loneliness | |||
BE still. Be still. Do not speak. The charm of the hour, Fallen soft as a tear on a cheek, Holds me dumb in its power. Be still, oh, be still! Speech were pain In a moment like this. Call me not earthward again, E'en with a kiss. Leave me alone with my heart, To tremble and thrill. Oh, leave me before the tears start. Or stay—and be still! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN ABEYANCE by DENISE LEVERTOV IN A VACANT HOUSE by PHILIP LEVINE SUNDAY ALONE IN A FIFTH FLOOR APARTMENT, CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS by WILLIAM MATTHEWS SILENCE LIKE COOL SAND by PAT MORA THE HONEY BEAR by EILEEN MYLES A BIRTHDAY SONG by GRACE DENIO LITCHFIELD |
