WHEN YOU ARE AWAY, by MABEL CLELAND LUDLUM First Line: I shall find a small green garden Last Line: Can know what my singing means. Subject(s): Love | |||
I shall find a small green garden, Far from the crowd on the broad highway, And there I shall wait with my dreams of you Forever or a day. I shall make a little song To sing to myself, alone at night, But only the wind and the listening roses, Will hear the notes aright. And perhaps the wind from my little garden, On puckered lips will whistle my tune, And you, far out on the dusty highway, Hearing, will come for me soon. I shall wait in my green-walled garden, Making small songs of my ribbons of dreams, But only tiny and frightened children Can know what my singing means. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD HEAVEN by MABEL CLELAND LUDLUM |
