A HIDDEN RHYTHM, by EDA LOU WALTON First Line: There is a hidden rhythm Last Line: "on a whispered, ""stay!" | ||||||||
There is a hidden rhythm In an hour like this, When eyes meet eyes Across a deep abyss, When lips tear words Like petals from a flower To let them fall In quick staccato shower. Our shadows blend and part, The wall is bright again; The tapping of your fingers Is the dripping of the rain; The fire leaps high And sinks into itself; Flame lights the face Of the clock on the shelf. And the hour is done, You must go away -- I cannot break the rhythm On a whispered, "Stay!" | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...I SHOULD LIKE TO LIVE IN A BALLAD WORLD by EDA LOU WALTON PIANO BURIAL by EDA LOU WALTON TAKE WHOM YOU WILL by EDA LOU WALTON WITHOUT FIGURES by EDA LOU WALTON NIGHT AND DAY: 2 by ISAAC ROSENBERG ON THE BIRTH OF A CHILD by LOUIS UNTERMEYER |
