ONLY THE SOFT WIND, by FAITH EVELYN PACKARD First Line: Life gazes long at me Last Line: Through the swinging treetops. Subject(s): Imaginary Conversations; Life; Wind | ||||||||
Life gazes long at me Through the swinging treetops, Seeming to question me, But I have no answer: Only the soft wind blows Through the swinging treetops. When the still evening comes We return together -- Questioning, I look at him, But he has no answer: Only the soft wind blows Through the swinging treetops. Often silence finds us here, Life and me together -- Over all our questioning, For we have no answer: Only the soft wind blows Through the swinging treetops. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE THREE CHILDREN by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE WIND by LOUISE MOREY BOWMAN LEAF LITTER ON ROCK FACE by HEATHER MCHUGH RESIDENTIAL AREA by JOSEPHINE MILES THE DAY THE WINDS by JOSEPHINE MILES VARIATIONS: 12 by CONRAD AIKEN OH IT'S PRETTY WINDY OUTSIDE by LARRY EIGNER BRIEF MOMENT by FAITH EVELYN PACKARD |
