THE OTHER SIDE, by MARTHA BANNING THOMAS First Line: I want to push behind silence Last Line: But cannot remember! Alternate Author Name(s): Eden, Patience Subject(s): Brooks; Rivers; Streams; Creeks | ||||||||
I want to push behind silence Where sound is, -- I want to slip into the singing crack When a noise goes through, I want to hear what I loved to hear Yesterday . . . The comforting creak of a rocker on bare boards, The excitement of a brook going down a water-fall, The watery happiness of ducks among reeds, The rush of a sky-rocket into the night, The bubbling break of stars . . .! Yet more than these I want to hear something I know But cannot remember! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DOWN THE BROOK by ROBERT FROST A CLEARING BY A STREAM by ALICIA SUSKIN OSTRIKER STREAM by ALICIA SUSKIN OSTRIKER THE ASPEN AND THE STREAM by RICHARD WILBUR WEST RUNNING BROOK by ROBERT FROST BIRCH STREAM by ANNA BOYNTON AVERILL THE VALLEY BROOK by JOHN HOWARD BRYANT |
