WHEN YOU ARE WITH ME, by EFFIE WALLER SMITH Poet's Biography First Line: Richer tints the western sky Last Line: When you are with me. Subject(s): Love | ||||||||
Richer tints the western sky Shows at sunset, darling mine, Which all artist's paints defy: Gorgeous, splendid, e'en divine, When you are with me. And when the lowliest flower In Spring its leaves unfold, (Be its home on hill or moor) Sweeter fragrance seems to hold, When you are with me. Where flows yon winding stream Among the alders green, More lovely does its waters seem, More calm and more serene, When you are with me. In grove and meadow sing the birds More sweetly and more gayly, When I'm listening to your hopeful words Of our futurity, When you are with me. | Other Poems of Interest...NEW SEASON by MICHAEL S.
