What say you my heart so tender
In the glow of eventide
When the world is calm and silent
And all tears fore'er subside
Shall you greet the coming dawning
Peacefully in sweet repose
Or shall you renounce in fury
All you cherish, at the close
As the clouds caress your slumber
And all dreams then fade from sight
Will you cease your ardent pounding
At the coming of the night
Or shall you throb ever stronger
Sore afraid to free the bind
Grasping tightly at the passing
There within your troubled mind
See, O see the darkling moonlight
Watch the shining rising sun
Slip into eternal rapture
When the day is ever done
Sleep as like a babe so tranquil
In the arms of loving care
Give yourself to stillness ‘biding
Rest forever, peaceful there
What say you my heart so tender
As you take your last encore
Shall you whimper as a childling -
Or be still and beat no more
Be proud Valerie for you have got a heart so tender... I am worried often whether I have heart at all or why I have got a hard heart. A VERY VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR to VALERIE and all hear dear and near ones with tender hearts...
A very beautiful poem of idea and second and fourth line rhyming which adds the sweetness of the music.
A pure poetry it is! ! ! So imaginatively and tenderly composed...
This had my heart tugging, every line was pure magic, you are a modern Romantic with a fine hand for the written word thank you for sharing.
Have no doubt- your tender heart wil throb for long making you produce lovely refrains that enchant us. A FABULOUS POEM.
Let your heart not heed your prayer! Let it continue to throb for long to produce even greater melody! A WONDERFUL poem!
