... Something I hardly understand,
But I must tell you how I feel.
So I close my eyes,
And let my heart guide my hand.
Perhaps the tears that falls from my eyes,
Will show you my love and how much it means to me.
To me our love is everything.
I believe love will find it's way and show us the answers
To the questions being revealed,
I promise you that I will always love you
And I never meant to hurt you.
I know you love me,
I can see it in your eyes and feel it in your touch,
I promise I will never ...

Number of Words: 517 / Number of Pages: 2
... life is something Brooks draws attention to with a separate stanza:
Two who are Mostly Good.
Two who have lived their day,
But keep on putting on their clothes
And putting things away. (5-8)
Brooks emphasizes how isolated the couple is by repeating "Two who." Then she emphasizes how routine their life is by reating"putting."

These are some of the natural phenomenon’s that Frost mentions to explain the appearance of Birch trees.
Frost then goes on to offer a more fantasy-like interpretation that he knows is not the real reason for th ...

... had even published seven of the poems in Wheels, the
magazine she edited, and was preparing to publish more. It was then that
Sassoon became involved. Sitwell, in a letter dated 3 October 1919, wrote
to Susan Owen (Wilfred's mother) and told her,
I wrote to Captain Sassoon, to ask him if he could
