THE RETURN, by OSCAR WILLIAMS First Line: In some far and lonely midnight Last Line: Lead me out of the room. | |||
In some far and lonely midnight I shall arise as in a dream, And part dark curtains on a strange room Where mysterious candles gleam. I shall open an unknown book In that weird and wind-stirred place, And come upon a poem With a sad face. I shall listen to my dead heart's cry Faint through the years that are gone, And I shall feel over my shoulder The Silence looking on. And very softly he will touch me, And I shall turn toward the gloom; He will take my arm and quietly Lead me out of the room. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE GOLDEN FLEECE by OSCAR WILLIAMS THE SPIRIT OF THE NORTH by OSCAR WILLIAMS SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: JOHN CABANIS by EDGAR LEE MASTERS SONNET: TO HIS LUTE by WILLIAM DRUMMOND OF HAWTHORNDEN SPECIMEN OF AN INDUCTION TO A POEM by JOHN KEATS THE ABSINTHE-DRINKER by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS THE MERMAID by ALFRED TENNYSON THE LOVE SONNETS OF PROTEUS: 103.
