EDGE OF THE DAY, by BURL BREDON First Line: He shall wake in the dawn Last Line: On the edge of the day. | |||
He shall wake in the dawn with the rain on the roof like the beat of a heart that is frightened and fleet. He shall watch in the dark till the edge of the day finds the window and steals to the wall at his feet. He shall never forget that I moved in his life. He shall never forget that my laughter was gay. Though the moment was brief, he shall never forget -- he shall think of me still on the edge of the day. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...READING WHITMAN IN A TOILET STALL by TIMOTHY LIU SUMMER WIND by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT ON THE DEATH OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN by PHILIP FRENEAU A SHROPSHIRE LAD: 32 by ALFRED EDWARD HOUSMAN EXCELSIOR by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW MY MOTHER by WILLIAM BELL SCOTT PSALM 92 by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE HOW TO CATCH A BLACK-FISH by JOHN GARDINER CALKINS BRAINARD |
