REMEMBERING, by FAY LEWIS NOBLE First Line: The heights of life hold one unchanging place Last Line: Though life may not again reveal your face. | |||
The heights of life hold one unchanging place Where you and I remain always together -- Oh, not chimerical, this dream-lit space, But hewn from facts! We do not question whether Guests may enter, nor do we bar the door; The threshold is inviolably ours And none may come where none has been before. Alone we laid the stones and lifted towers. Companioned you may walk in alien ways, Or share a house that I have never known. But this will pass. Forever must the days And thoughts that flamed between us be our own, So you and love and I shall match our pace, Though life may not again reveal your face. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...YOUTH THAT NEVER DIES by FAY LEWIS NOBLE THE BLACK RIDERS: 22 by STEPHEN CRANE THE BEGGAR MAID [AND KING COPHETUA] by ALFRED TENNYSON SAINT TERESA'S BOOK-MARK by THERESA OF AVILA THY BIRTHDAY by CLAUDE A.
