PROMISE, by VIRGINIA KEATING ORTON First Line: We laughed together in the quiet glade Last Line: And tried to freshen it with tears. Subject(s): Grief; Sorrow; Sadness | |||

I thought of that today When in my hand I held a blade Of dried and twisted summer grass, And tried to freshen it with tears. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONOMA FIRE by JANE HIRSHFIELD AS THE SPARKS FLY UPWARDS by JOHN HOLLANDER WHAT GREAT GRIEF HAS MADE THE EMPRESS MUTE by JUNE JORDAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 19 by JAMES JOYCE DIRGE AT THE END OF THE WOODS by LEONIE ADAMS AFTERMATH by VIRGINIA KEATING ORTON |
