FIRST ANNIVERSARY, by MIRIAM ALLEN DEFORD First Line: A year ago tonight I did not lie alone Last Line: But morning came. | |||
A year ago tonight I did not lie alone. I felt your pulses beat, your flesh and bone Against my own. A year ago tonight I saw your heart-lit eyes, Blue with that beauty pain could not disguise, Or grief surprise. A year ago tonight I heard you speak my name. My spirit had a home, my being an aim. But morning came. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ESSENCE by MIRIAM ALLEN DEFORD THE MUSICMAKER'S CHILD by MIRIAM ALLEN DEFORD TRAVELLER'S DUTY by MIRIAM ALLEN DEFORD STUDY FOR A GEOGRAPHICAL TRAIL; 4.
