LOVE'S NEARNESS, by JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE Poet's Biography First Line: I think of thee when golden sunbeams glimmer Last Line: If thou wert here! Subject(s): Absence; Love; Relationships; Separation; Isolation | |||
I THINK of thee when golden sunbeams glimmer Across the sea; And when the waves reflect the moon's pale shimmer I think of thee. I see thy form when down the distant highway The dust-clouds rise; In darkest night, above the mountain by-way I see thine eyes. I hear thee when the ocean-tides returning Aloud rejoice; And on the lonely moor in silence yearning I hear thy voice. I dwell with thee; though thou art far removed, Yet thou art near. The sun goes down, the stars shine out, -- Beloved If thou wert here! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE EVENING OF THE MIND by DONALD JUSTICE CHRISTMAS AWAY FROM HOME by JANE KENYON THE PROBLEM by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES WHEN A WOMAN LOVES A MAN by DAVID LEHMAN THIS UNMENTIONABLE FEELING by DAVID LEHMAN A SONG FROM THE COPTIC by JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE FAUST: SCENE 1.
