I KNOW NOT WHY, by MORRIS ROSENFELD Poet's Biography First Line: I lift mine eyes against the sky Last Line: It lies so deep, I know not why. | |||
I LIFT mine eyes against the sky, The clouds are weeping, so am I; I lift mine eyes again on high, The sun is smiling, so am I. Why do I smile? Why do I weep? I do not know; it lies too deep. I hear the winds of autumn sigh, They break my heart, they make me cry; I hear the birds of lovely spring, My hopes revive, I help them sing. Why do I sing? Why do I cry? It lies so deep, I know not why. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SIMCHAS TORAH (THE REJOICING OF THE LAW) by MORRIS ROSENFELD IT JUST SO HAPPENS by JAMES GALVIN DAYS TOO SHORT by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
