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...SEVEN TWILIGHTS: 5 by CONRAD AIKEN IF HE SHOULD COME by EDWIN MARKHAM SLEEP by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH IN THE SHADOWS: 2 by DAVID GRAY (1838-1861) THE HOLY SCRIPTURES (1) by GEORGE HERBERT THE RECONCILEMENT by JOHN SHEFFIELD FOR THE MASTER'S SAKE by MINNIE MASON BEEBE SONNETS FROM THE PORTUGUESE: 40 by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING |
