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 THE LAND OF HEART'S DESIRE by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS THE SELF-SEEKER by ROBERT FROST THE COTTER'S SATURDAY NIGHT by ROBERT BURNS MACFLECKNOE; OR, A SATIRE UPON THE TRUE-BLUE-PROTESTANT POET by JOHN DRYDEN |
