LIKE GOLDEN SHAFTS, by MERLE PRICE First Line: So many times I dreamed - oh, years and years Last Line: Love can make a heaven for you and me. | |||
So many times I dreamed -- oh, years and years -- That love would come as swift as sudden flame. So many times I thought its lovely name Was surely my emotion. I learned with tears Love was not there, and sought again. But blind, Alone, and lonely walking through the maze Of paths too steep through solitary days, My life became a weary way to find. So many times I dreamed . . . now love has come, Far lovelier than dreams had fashioned it. Like golden shafts of time the days now flit To paradisiacal yesterday. Love can plumb The depths of life and its eternity. Love can make a heaven for you and me. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PEAR TREE IN MOONLIGHT by MERLE PRICE NEBUCHADNEZZAR: OR EATING GRASS by EDGAR LEE MASTERS HYBRIDS OF WAR: A MORALITY POEM: 1.
