Classic and Contemporary Poetry
FABLE, by RUBY FRANCE ALDRIDGE First Line: I heard you singing Last Line: Was in my face, like a great amen. | |||
I heard you singing, And cool, cool hands Pressed down my fevered thoughts. I heard you weeping, And pain, like a slim Stiletto, ate into my heart. I heard you praying, And the breath of God Was in my face, like a great Amen. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BRER RABBIT, YOU'S DE CUTES' OF 'EM ALL by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON ON THE BALCONY by PAUL VERLAINE WINTER TREES by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS GOD'S GARDEN by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON EN TOUR; A SONG SEQUENCE: 1.
