I BROKE MY CRUST, by MARGARET HORSCH STEVENS First Line: I broke my crust of bread to give him part Last Line: That swings the gate to love's eternity. | |||
I broke my crust of bread to give him part And somehow something happened to my heart: That which was sleeping woke and gently stirred Then filled the air with songs I had not heard. Sweet voices which had seemed so strange before Came ringing, singing through my open door And presently I found the very key That swings the gate to love's eternity. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LIGHTED WINDOW by SARA TEASDALE ON MONSIEUR'S DEPARTURE by ELIZABETH I THE JOURNEY ONWARDS by THOMAS MOORE HASCHEESH by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH THE PASSING SHOW by AMBROSE BIERCE THE ART OF BOOK-KEEPING by SAMUEL LAMAN BLANCHARD PAUPER PETE'S SONG by MATHILDE BLIND ADVICE TO MY YOUNG WIFE by MAXWELL BODENHEIM |
