There is a part of you that I shall keep When Time has softly hidden you from sight, When I forget to wonder or to weep That you have crossed the boundary of night; Though the grave candor of your searching gaze Elude me, and the magic of your voice Return no more to gladden somber days, I shall discover reason to rejoice. There is a memory that will not fade Though fugitive the years forever flee, A glowing word you whispered unafraid That Time can never snatch away from me. There is a part of you as frail as breath My heart shall proudly keep, even from death. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SEVEN TWILIGHTS: 2 by CONRAD AIKEN ONE FAVORED ACORN by ROBERT FROST FROM FRANCE by ISAAC ROSENBERG GOLDWING MOTH by CARL SANDBURG SANDHILL PEOPLE by CARL SANDBURG SUNSET FROM OMAHA HOTEL WINDOW by CARL SANDBURG |
