THE SOLITUDE OF SPACE, by FLORA CECILE ALLISON First Line: Oh, for the solitude of space! Last Line: Will say, right here, just smell how sweet! Subject(s): Solitude; Loneliness | |||
Oh, for the solitude of space! Green fields that curve and dip and rise Dotted with daisies and queen's lace Shaded by trees that reach the skies. Where I can set my caged soul free And watch it soar from off the ground, The while the earthiness of me Merges into the grasses round. Till the clean beauty of the scene Fills all my empty aching lack And I am part of the vast green And cannot call my free soul back. Then will you look for me in vain, Though I am there beneath your feet. And when I smile at sun or rain Will say, right here, just smell how sweet! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN ABEYANCE by DENISE LEVERTOV IN A VACANT HOUSE by PHILIP LEVINE SUNDAY ALONE IN A FIFTH FLOOR APARTMENT, CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS by WILLIAM MATTHEWS SILENCE LIKE COOL SAND by PAT MORA THE HONEY BEAR by EILEEN MYLES THE WORLD AS WILL AND REPRESENTATION' by HAYDEN CARRUTH |
