Question: Of all sights and sounds!?!?
Of all the walks I have taken in yonder wood
Of all the flowers where my feet have stood
hough I am blind to all but remembered sights
Of all of the hiding animals when I came near
Of all of the birds in flight which I hold so dear!.
I wish I could see them again!.

Of all of the rivers that have sparkled in the sun
Of all the grasses swaying and bowing in fun
Of all of the bees buzzing from flower to flower!.
Of all the butterfly’s living for so short an hour!.
I wish I could see them again!.

Of all the pallets of a mornings blush
Of all the sighing breezes gentle hush
Of all the berries on the hawthorn hedge
Of all the sparrow on my window ledge
I hope I will see them again!.

Of all the sights and sounds and smells
Of all the chapels Sabbaths ringing bells
Of all the fells and hills and echoing vales
Of all the joys as we scampered over dales
I wish I could hear them again!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

My answer is that I really liked reading that!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The imagery in this poem is superb, the form is original and creative and the meter sings to heart and soul!. The message is one of nostalgia, but not of regret, for the poet has faith in an afterlife, where he will again see and hear all the sights and sounds he describes!. The poem also serves as a warning to the young to enjoy those fleeting moments of beauty, for they may never come again!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This I am uneasy on!. It is a wondrous poem with very nice images and thoughts!. If you are indeed not blind and deaf, then it has to be more of a metaphorical look at really not looking and smelling etc!. Then I think more regret should be built to offset the images described!. But above all else, that is just my opinion!. Take it for what it is worth!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This is a powerful reminder of why we should stop and smell the flowers, taste our foods, hear the songs of life, and feel every touch of the heart!Www@QuestionHome@Com
