WHY?, by JOSEPH SEAMON COTTER JR. First Line: The little child across the street Last Line: But what am I to her? Subject(s): Peace | |||
The little child across the street— Why does she wave to me? What sees she in my wasted form To hail so joyously? Her olive face and curly hair Are tidings of earth-peace, Her golden smile's a wealth of joy That bids my sorrows cease. To me she is a fairy sprite— A heavenly harbinger Whose sun-kissed eyes are songs of God— But what am I to her? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HOW MANY NIGHTS by GALWAY KINNELL THE MOTTO by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON THE TRUE BEATITUDE by RUPERT BROOKE MAKING PEACE by DENISE LEVERTOV TWO SONGS OF PEACE: 1 by YEHUDA AMICHAI TWO SONGS OF PEACE: 2 by YEHUDA AMICHAI AND WHAT SHALL YOU SAY? by JOSEPH SEAMON COTTER JR. |
