THE UNBORN, by FANNIE STEARNS DAVIS GIFFORD Poet's Biography First Line: When out of the dark I come to you Last Line: When out of the dark I come to you? -- Alternate Author Name(s): Davis, Fannie Stearns | |||
WHEN out of the dark I come to you, A faint new spirit, blank and blind, -- A bird too weak to search the blue, -- A ship too frail to take the wind, -- When out of the dark I come to you, -- (You having called me from that Place Where I might sleep the aeons through, Lapped in the drowsy dark of Space,) -- Then must you claim me for your own, Who seem no more your own than light, Across an upland pasture blown In the great solitudes of night? Body and soul, you live in me. Yet strange am I, and wild, and new. Oh, can your loving leave me free, When out of the dark I come to you? -- | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AN OLD SONG by FANNIE STEARNS DAVIS GIFFORD ANCIENT BEAUTIFUL THINGS by FANNIE STEARNS DAVIS GIFFORD CRACK O' DAWN by FANNIE STEARNS DAVIS GIFFORD DAWN-JOY by FANNIE STEARNS DAVIS GIFFORD ESCAPE by FANNIE STEARNS DAVIS GIFFORD EVENING SONG by FANNIE STEARNS DAVIS GIFFORD FIRE FANTASY by FANNIE STEARNS DAVIS GIFFORD GHOSTS by FANNIE STEARNS DAVIS GIFFORD HOME by FANNIE STEARNS DAVIS GIFFORD HOOFS IN THE DARK by FANNIE STEARNS DAVIS GIFFORD |
