I hear a voice, so close it makes me start, That low and tender tells the story old; It still finds answer in my listening heart That question bold. I see a face, bent fondly till dear eyes Draw other eyes as magnets ... hold with bliss All radiant, till they yielding, authorize Bethrothal kiss. Warm hands seek mine and pressing close, enthral As fervently as then, while pulses chime; These spirit flowers bloom on ... no petals fall In blasts of time. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MISERY AND SPLENDOR by ROBERT HASS THE APPLE TREES AT OLEMA by ROBERT HASS DOUBLE SONNET by ANTHONY HECHT CONDITIONS XXI by ESSEX HEMPHILL CALIFORNIA SORROW: MOUNTAIN VIEW by MARY KINZIE SUPERBIA: A TRIUMPH WITH NO TRAIN by MARY KINZIE COUNSEL TO UNREASON by LEONIE ADAMS TWENTY QUESTIONS by DAVID LEHMAN A BLACK HILLS IDYL by BEULAH WINDLE SCALLIN |
