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...THE DEATH OF A PHOTOGRAPHER by KAREN SWENSON ON THE DEATH OF MR.
