COMPENSATION, by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE First Line: Your heart broke when you answered me Last Line: I steal away to worship you. Subject(s): Hearts; Love; Man-woman Relationships; Male-female Relations | |||
YOUR heart broke when you answered me, Your spirit wept, for I could see The tear-drops tremble to the lawn Like dying notes of mass at dawn. Now seven summers by have fled Since first you told me love was dead, And though my love has never died My heart is somehow satisfied. For where your tears of sorrow fell The violets have made a dell, And there, when anguish comes anew, I steal away to worship you. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MISERY AND SPLENDOR by ROBERT HASS THE APPLE TREES AT OLEMA by ROBERT HASS DOUBLE SONNET by ANTHONY HECHT CONDITIONS XXI by ESSEX HEMPHILL CALIFORNIA SORROW: MOUNTAIN VIEW by MARY KINZIE SUPERBIA: A TRIUMPH WITH NO TRAIN by MARY KINZIE COUNSEL TO UNREASON by LEONIE ADAMS TWENTY QUESTIONS by DAVID LEHMAN A MEMORY by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE |
