QUESTION, by FLORENCE POWELL First Line: Stretching upward I would stand Last Line: Outstretched too far? | ||||||||
Stretching upward I would stand Reaching for a star. Dreams took shape, then waned ... Weary, desire unattained, I felt the cold sky lay, upon the hand held high, A snowflake. Was it a star wraith Bidding me hold faith, Or solace for a hand Outstretched too far? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MADEIRA FROM THE SEA by SARA TEASDALE SPRING SONG by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR THE FADED VIOLET by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH FAREWELL TO THE PILGRIMS by THEODORE M.
