KATHLEEN O'DARE, by DOROTHY B. YOST First Line: The evening shades are falling within the orchard grove Last Line: While the shadows gather in the sky. Subject(s): Evening; Orchards; Shadows; Sunset; Twilight | ||||||||
The evening shades are falling within the orchard grove And Kathleen O'Dare goes passing by. O lightly pass, lightly tread, Kathleen O'Dare, While the shadows gather in the sky. One heavy heart lies dead where once you laid your head And now a voice no more shall name your name. A heavy heart lies dead where once you laid your head Now who will bear with you and hold your shame? The evening shades are falling within the orchard grove And Kathleen O'Dare goes passing by. O lightly pass, gently tread, Kathleen O'Dare, While the shadows gather in the sky. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JOURNEY INTO THE EYE by DAVID LEHMAN FEBRUARY EVENING IN NEW YORK by DENISE LEVERTOV THE HOUSE OF DUST: 1 by CONRAD AIKEN TWILIGHT COMES by HAYDEN CARRUTH IN THE EVENINGS by LUCILLE CLIFTON NINETEEN FORTY by NORMAN DUBIE POETS ARE BORN NOT MADE by ROBERT FROST ON CARPACCIO'S PICTURE: THE DREAM OF ST.
