ON THE FLY LEAF OF A FRIEND'S BOOK, by SAMUEL VALENTINE COLE First Line: This book is his? The beautiful dreams between Last Line: And in the dark was building roofs of gold! Subject(s): Friendship | |||
THIS book is his? the beautiful dreams between These covers his, the friend's I used to know? Yet many a morn together have we seen The clouds refold their airy tents and go, And many a silent evening, from the glen, The mountain blazing with their golden camp. Fool that I was not to have known him then! I never guessed he owned Aladdin's lamp! He seemed like other men whom one may meet, But, like the honey-bees, with skill untold, He gathered treasures even at my feet, And in the dark was building roofs of gold! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...YOU & I BELONG IN THIS KITCHEN by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA JASON THE REAL by TONY HOAGLAND NO RESURRECTION by ROBINSON JEFFERS CHAMBER MUSIC: 17 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 18 by JAMES JOYCE THE STONE TABLE by GALWAY KINNELL ALMSWOMAN by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN TO AN ENEMY by MAXWELL BODENHEIM SONNET: 10.
