THE DREAMERS, by LYDIA LITTELL First Line: Two old men with heads together Last Line: Tread the ways of youth again. Subject(s): Old Age | ||||||||
Two old men with heads together, Sitting where young grass is mown, In the sunny springtime weather, Tell of May days past and gone Two old men, with dim eyes dreaming, Where the apple-blossoms blow See the far horizon gleaming With bright scenes of long ago. Two old men who loved life truly Murmur slow words now and then... Nod... and sleep... and dreaming newly, Tread the ways of youth again. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AT EIGHTY I CHANGE MY VIEW by DAVID IGNATOW FAWN'S FOSTER-MOTHER by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE DEER LAY DOWN THEIR BONES by ROBINSON JEFFERS OLD BLACK MEN by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON A WINTER ODE TO THE OLD MEN OF LUMMUS PARK, / MIAMI, FLORIDA by DONALD JUSTICE AFTER A LINE BY JOHN PEALE BISHOP by DONALD JUSTICE TO HER BODY, AGAINST TIME by ROBERT KELLY SONG FROM A COUNTRY FAIR by LEONIE ADAMS HYMN FOR A DARK AGE by LYDIA LITTELL |
