Now i lay(with everywhere around)... (44) - A poem by e.e. cummings

e.e. cummings - Now i lay(with everywhere around)... (44)

Now i lay(with everywhere around)
me(the great dim deep sound
of rain;and of always and of nowhere)and
what a gently welcoming darkestness--

now i lay me down(in a most steep
more than music)feeling that sunlight is
(life and day are)only loaned:whereas
night is given(night and death and the rain

are given;and given is how beautifully snow)

now i lay me down to dream of(nothing
i or any somebody or you
can begin to begin to imagine)

something which nobody may keep.
now i lay me down to dream of Spring

Poet: e.e. cummings Poem: Now i lay(with everywhere around)... (44) Comment 6 of 6, added on January 29th, 2006 at 2:59 AM. this is the 2nd poem i read and truly cummings is an amazing poet... getting into this generation is something... there is something magical in this poem... a child like prayer but with the intensity of an adult's mind... simple but intricate... 2 worlds in 1... Bernadette Joy from Philippines Comment 5 of 6, added on August 6th, 2005 at 11:50 PM. 3. "with you i leave a remembrance of miracles:they are by somebody who can love and who whall be continually reborn. . ." i do not know how anyone could love mr cummings('s poetry)more than i. i am always happy to see how many others DO love mr cummings'spoetry((perhaps as much as i). Tom Hall from United States Comment 4 of 6, added on August 6th, 2005 at 4:19 PM. clearly, the other persons commenting here are touched and are enJoyed (sic) by this little work as much as i am today. i do not know how anyone could love mr cummings('s poetry)more than i. i am always happy to see how many others DO love mr cummings'spoetry((perhaps as much as i). My comment is from the author himself, just two twinkles to compare with this writing. 1. from "i thank you god for most this amazing day" "i who have died am alive again today" ... Does anythink about this remind you of spring? 2. from ntroduction to his "Collected Poems" of 1938 "if mostpeople were to be born twice they'd improbably call it dying--" o, and a third twinkle from the same: 3. "with yo i leave a remembrance of miracles:they are by somebody who can and who whall be continually reborn. . ." i do not know how anyone could love mr cummings('s poetry)more than i. i am always happy to see how many others DO love mr cummings'spoetry((perhaps as much as i).
