YOU have taken the sun and the stars from Heaven With your dusky eyes that glow like wine, You have taken the sweetness from the rose With the touch of your warm red lips on mine. You have stilled the song in the meadowlark's throat With your voice that holds all melody, And the fear is heavy upon my heart That you have taken my God from me! | 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 |
