I have a clock within me (Call it a heart if you will) That tells me the time of timeless things Beyond any skill. That tells me how you will lift your head, Just as you turn a page, And say to me, "I love you!" Words that never age. Or how you will rise rapturously And do some tender thing That makes love seem as wonderful As a desert spring. I have a clock whose beating Rounds ever toward some chime Of harmonies between us That heal the hurts of time. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A SONG OF COURAGE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON PERSPECTIVE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON NORTH WIND TO DUTIFUL BEAST MIDWAY BETWEEN DIAL & FOOT OF GARDEN CLOCK by MARIANNE MOORE TWO SONNETS: 1 by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON OLD OSAWATOMIE by CARL SANDBURG |
