Another Day Poem by Ernestine Northover
Another Day
Wake not the dawn too early,
Let night remain a while,
It's painful to face another day,
Without your loving smile.
Wake not the dawn too early,
Let night hide me away,
So I need not face another day,
Having had no communique.
Wake not the dawn too early,
Let night my sweet refuge be,
For having to face another day,
Would be sheer agony for me.
Wake not the dawn too early,
Let night my dreams suffuse,
How can I face another day,
When my heart cannot enthuse.
Wake not the dawn too early,
Let night be my stalwart shield,
Then maybe I can face another day,
When my sadness has been healed.
This has a fine flow to it Ernestine. I like the repetition of the first line and the 'classical' feel to the text. Maybe you could try 'tis instead of it's in line three. Just a thought? A wistful, touching poem. love Allie. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

How easy it is to stay 'in the land of nod', especially in this poem Ernestine when things are not as they should be in your day. Perfect rhythm, rhyme and flow. Beautiful.....10 Karin Anderson

Another fine Penning from our Poetess E.! ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; fJr
This is a very tender piece Ernestine. The repeat of the first line on each stanza, works brilliantly and give the narrative an affirming andd reaffirming feel. As you know, I am a sucker for well presented rhyme and this is very much that. A very loving poem.
