Constance La France Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

''Oh Sweet Dagger''

Oh sweet dagger! Stop your twisting,
Lost memories bring me weeping;
Each time I think of the beauty,
Love- lost for all eternity.
Will this heart ever stop bleeding?

I see you when I am dreaming,
But day time stabs bring back grieving;
My life has lost its harmony.
Oh sweet dagger!

Beloved- stay in my dreams creeping,
Please, don't be that lady laughing;
Or that man watching me sadly,
A baby crying mournfully;
Or that handsome guy smiling.
Oh sweet dagger!

Carrie Richards July 14, 2016 at 2:44 PM Living through tragedy indeed, does feel like a dagger to the heart. The bleeding lasts forever, but somehow it doesn't keep us from waking up each day to a new sun. We must keep on, keeping on.. in spite of "feeling" the pain. Great Rondeau, BW !
