ALL YOU HAVE LOVED, by ELAINE V. EMANS First Line: All you have loved indubitably lies Last Line: All you have loved is now forever you. | |||
All you have loved indubitably lies Warm in the heart, or sparkles in the eyes: Birdsong at dawns intoxicate with May, Organs at dusk, slim birches, and the way A rabbit patterns first snow; color of ocean; Rain on the roof at midnight, and the motion Of dancers swaying with unstudied grace; Old volumes, joy transfiguring a face, Slow talk in candlelight, and larkspur's blue. All you have loved is now forever you. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LINES WRITTEN FOR A WIFE by ELAINE V. EMANS LOST OCTOBER by ELAINE V.
