BEWILDERMENT, by VERNE TAYLOR BENEDICT First Line: Often we wondered - over and over Last Line: Was a stretch of sky where stars came through. | |||
Often we wondered -- over and over -- Why she followed an errant rover. She who loved most a quiet room, The touch of silk, a rose in bloom, She who wanted beyond all things A sun-warmed garden, bruised her wings Trying to follow a wild bird's tune June to November -- back to June. And all the roof she ever knew Was a stretch of sky where stars came through. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WIND IN THE WILLOWS by VERNE TAYLOR BENEDICT TO DICK, ON HIS SIXTH BIRTHDAY by SARA TEASDALE THE BIRTH SONG OF CHRIST by EDMUND HAMILTON SEARS SONNETS OF MANHOOD: 38.
