A SONNET, by EVA BERRY HARRIS First Line: He is no longer with us; far too soon Last Line: I know full well his love protects us still. Subject(s): Death; Dead, The | |||
He is no longer with us; far too soon His lovely soul took its unearthly flight To regions far away from star or moon— To Elysian places of delight. Methinks if we could see beyond the sky We'd know how sweetly the immortals dwell Then age-old mysteries would clarify, Illusions disappear and doubts dispel. Indeed if we could see, we'd yearn to go, There'd be no canting to conceal our zeal; But strangely here within this bungalow Although we cannot see, yet we can feel— No longer with us—while my sad eyes fill I know full well his love protects us still. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A FRIEND KILLED IN THE WAR by ANTHONY HECHT FOR JAMES MERRILL: AN ADIEU by ANTHONY HECHT TARANTULA: OR THE DANCE OF DEATH by ANTHONY HECHT CHAMPS D?ÇÖHONNEUR by ERNEST HEMINGWAY NOTE TO REALITY by TONY HOAGLAND |
