ON THE TRAIN, by RUTH NOEL BENNETT First Line: Through wisps of smoke swift, backward Last Line: Waiting the lips of you. Subject(s): Hearts; Love; Waiting | |||
THROUGH wisps of smoke swift, backward-fleeting scenes A searching gladness bring— The bare brown fields and shivering woods forlorn, Waiting for life, and spring! With glad, awakened eyes I see in these A bond of kinship new; So lay my soul, a frozen, voiceless thing, Waiting the lips of you. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ALMOST AN ELEGY by JOSEPH BRODSKY THE AWAKENING by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON WAITING FOR SWEET BETTY by CLARENCE MAJOR GENTLEMEN, I ADDRESS YOU PUBLICLY by KENNETH REXROTH LA VIE EN ROSE by KENNETH REXROTH |
