COMFORT FROM A STAR, by MELANIE LILLIAN VAN DER TOORN First Line: A gray vista confronts my view Last Line: Placed there by god for me tonight. Subject(s): Comfort | ||||||||
A gray vista confronts my view, The sky is drab; no golden hue To ease my heart cast down in grief, The trees are, too, without a leaf. But now I see a shining star So bright and clear from out afar. It comforts me, this lonely light Placed there by God for me tonight. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO A YOUNG WOMAN DYING by NORMAN DUBIE SECOND TIME AROUND by CAROLYN KIZER LANDRUM'S DINER, RENO by DORIANNE LAUX THE DADDY STRAIN by KAREN SWENSON THE MAD WOMAN'S SONG by KAREN SWENSON IMPATIENCE by MELANIE LILLIAN VAN DER TOORN |
