THE LOST THOUGHT, by ISABEL ECCLESTONE MACKAY Poet's Biography First Line: There was a thought that through my mind Last Line: If 'twas that thought I dreamed! Subject(s): Children; Thought; Childhood; Thinking | ||||||||
THERE was a thought that through my mind Sped with a whirling glow, It was more wild and beautiful Than other thoughts I know Oh, much more beautiful and wild Than thoughts which come and go! It rose within me like a dawn That hides a singing bird, It left an echo of a song Sweeter than songs I've heard Oh, sweeter far than any song My ears have ever heard. All day I've searched inside my mind Sometimes it almost seemed I caught an echo and a glow, But mother says I dreamed Oh, I should like to dream again If 'twas that thought I dreamed! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MILLE ET UN SENTIMENTS (PREMIERS CENTS) by DENISE DUHAMEL SUNDAY AFTERNOON by CLARENCE MAJOR I BROOD ABOUT SOME CONCEPTS, FOR EXAMPLE by ALICIA SUSKIN OSTRIKER EASY LESSONS IN GEOPHAGY by KENNETH REXROTH GENTLEMEN, I ADDRESS YOU PUBLICLY by KENNETH REXROTH ON FLOWER WREATH HILL: 1 by KENNETH REXROTH A CHRISTMAS CHILD by ISABEL ECCLESTONE MACKAY |
