WAITING, by JOHN BANISTER TABB Poet's Biography First Line: I bide mine hour, when thou Last Line: Is setting to my side. Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb Subject(s): Love; Waiting | ||||||||
I bide mine hour, when thou, Beloved, far away, As unto sleep shalt bow Submissive to my sway. The clouds that, floating, seem Unpiloted and free, Obedient to the stream, Move onward to the sea; And under love's control, Despite the opposing tide, The current of thy soul Is setting to my side. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ALMOST AN ELEGY by JOSEPH BRODSKY THE AWAKENING by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON WAITING FOR SWEET BETTY by CLARENCE MAJOR GENTLEMEN, I ADDRESS YOU PUBLICLY by KENNETH REXROTH LA VIE EN ROSE by KENNETH REXROTH ANONYMOUS by JOHN BANISTER TABB |
