With piteous eye the look befell the forlorn gaze of consciousness. His thoughts of her he wished to tell but such was strong his own duress As winds did howl on frozen plain of hearts in beat of waiting seize To grace the brow in warming rain till fell the flow of chill in breeze. Does not the mind remain once clear and save the warmth of one’s last dream To bring from in the sound of cheer and flow beyond the wandering stream. Give unto this my bounteous love and whence one mome’ does then arise to fly the winged wanting dove into the clear of clouded skies. For as the heaven clears to blue and rays then fall in golden shine I bequeath my life to Ye, I do... To thee my love, dear Madeline. [This message has been edited by Magnus (08-26-2002 05:59 PM).] |

ahhhh, the wharf and weft of your weave in this is a gentle rolling of the tide enjoyed the read even if I don't know how to spell wharf and weft maybe it's warp and weft Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Barry, this makes me think of one of my favorite old poems, by Longfellow , "Evangeline" Very old world feel, perfectly composed. Sandra |

I must say, you sure have the talent to brighten anyone's day. Well written poem that delivers with each paragraph. Staring into the sun just makes you blind to what beauty actually exists in the sky. |
