I BROKE MY CRUST, by MARGARET HORSCH STEVENS First Line: I broke my crust of bread to give him part Last Line: That swings the gate to love's eternity. | |||
I broke my crust of bread to give him part And somehow something happened to my heart: That which was sleeping woke and gently stirred Then filled the air with songs I had not heard. Sweet voices which had seemed so strange before Came ringing, singing through my open door And presently I found the very key That swings the gate to love's eternity. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ON LADY POLTAGRUE: A PUBLIC PERIL by HILAIRE BELLOC THE GOLDEN CORPSE by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET THE SOCIOLOGY OF TOYOTAS AND JADE CHRYSANTHEMUMS by HAYDEN CARRUTH O GLORIOUS FRANCE by EDGAR LEE MASTERS IN THE STREETS by LOUIS UNTERMEYER HOLY POEMS: 3 by GEORGE BARKER LACK OF STEADFASTNESS; BALLAD by GEOFFREY CHAUCER RESURRECTION, IMPERFECT by JOHN DONNE THE BELLS OF LYNN; HEARD AT NAHANT by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW |
