DEAR, did you know how sweet to me Was every glance of yours, how sweet The laugh that lights your face with glee, The passing murmur of your feet, And seeing perchance with grief how vain The love that makes you sadly dear Did grant for my unuttered pain A whispered word, a smile, a tear Dropped like a star from Paradise, Then might I bless my weary state, Though you behold me from the skies And I on earth am desolate. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MEASURE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON AN ETERNITY by ARCHIBALD MACLEISH OUR LORD AND OUR LADY by HILAIRE BELLOC JAWEH AND ALLAH BATTLE by ALLEN GINSBERG BRER RABBIT, YOU'S DE CUTES' OF 'EM ALL by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON |
