BLIND JOURNEY, by SARA BARD FIELD First Line: Wild heart on wild heart beating Last Line: I'll still be blind and you be leading. Alternate Author Name(s): Wood, Charles Erskine Scoot, Mrs. | |||
Wild heart on wild heart beating— No, this is not for me: Swift sail with swift sail meeting In Love's bewildering sea. For me a flight through a desolate land Of lost horizons and sinking sand; A frigid fog, a salty breath, Pursuing the fleeting feet of Death. O whither are you going, Cold feet upon the fog, With my steps after-speeding Like Fate's subservient dog? Why will not Love undo your spell— Following, following, knowing well That when I reach you, breathless and bleeding, I'll still be blind and you be leading. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...COULD YOU NOT WATCH WITH ME ONE LITTLE HOUR? by SARA BARD FIELD HERB-GATHERER by SARA BARD FIELD LINES TO UNA by SARA BARD FIELD SUCCESSFUL PESSIMIST by SARA BARD FIELD THE ICY ONE by SARA BARD FIELD THE PALE WOMAN by SARA BARD FIELD TOWARD SPACE by SARA BARD FIELD |
