AFTER THE THEATRE, by ARTHUR PETERSON Poet's Biography First Line: All day the spell of that dear play has lain Last Line: Waved, over all, thy yellow english hair. Subject(s): Theater & Theaters | ||||||||
All day the spell of that dear play has lain Upon me; and my thoughts, unceasingly, Dream round its various happenings and round thee, Who didst so fascinate my heart and brain. I see thee standing now as thou didst stand Last night upon the stage; thy high, sweet face Uplifted to thy lover's, and the grace Of thy young figure, circled by his hand, Gowned in deep red, which seemed sad with thy sorrow: And round the gown, and o'er the red, there swept A veil of black, whose gathered meshes crept Up to thy curving throat, and there did borrow The clasp of one white hand: while, girlishly-fair; Waved, over all, thy yellow English hair. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SOUNDS OF THE RESURRECTED DEAD MAN'S FOOTSTEPS (#20): 1.
