A GREETING, by ANNIE MATHESON Poet's Biography First Line: Since once we crossed a daisied lawn Last Line: Through loving you so well! Subject(s): Hearts; Love | |||
SINCE once we crossed a daisied lawn Beneath an April sky, The blushing daisies never dawn But you seem standing by. And since we lingering stood to see The evening star burn bright, Your presence always comes to me When comes a starry night. Your every thought an answer gave To some half-thought of mine, And still the truths you love, right brave, My books do interline. Because you strove with every ill And wrestled for the right, Your strength of heart is with me still In many a lonely fight. How much less bright was life before Your shadow on me fell:— God grant that I may love Him more Through loving you so well! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD |
