She Tells Her Love While Half Asleep
 |
| Robert Graves (1895-9185) |
She tells her love while half asleep,
In the dark hours,
With
half-words whispered low;
As Earth stirs in her winter sleep
And puts out grass
and flowers
Despite the
snow;
Despite the
falling snow.
Many scholars contend that this is the “best” love poem by poet, novelist, mythographer, critic & historian Robert Graves (1895–1985). As a Graves fan I’m not sure I agree, but it seems quite appropriate for the February observance of Valentine’s Day.
Enjoy celebrating.
