QUIET HOURS, by CARMEN JUDSON First Line: Master, I have need of quiet hours Last Line: Master, I have need of quiet hours. | |||
Master, I have need of quiet hours, Tumultuous sounds assail my ears. Perhaps my heart could rest If there were place To pray. The way Was full of grace; A friendly hand was pressed Within my own. My sudden tears Were dried because of someone's gift of flowers. I glimpsed a slender moon above the towers, And beauty robbed me of my fears. A gentle wind caressed My lifted face Today. To pay For this; to trace Thy name across my breast, And satisfy my life's arrears, Master, I have need of quiet hours. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WHAT IS A POEM? by CARMEN JUDSON THE LITTLE FIRE IN THE WOODS by HAYDEN CARRUTH CENTRAL PARK AT DUSK by SARA TEASDALE REPORT ON EXPERIENCE by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN THE WELCOME by THOMAS OSBORNE DAVIS THE BRAVEST BATTLE by CINCINNATUS HEINE MILLER IN MEMORIAM A.H.H.: 106 by ALFRED TENNYSON REMEMBRANCE by EGMONT HEGEL ARENS |
