My Heart

Title:     My Heart
Author: Elizabeth Madox Roberts [More Titles by Roberts]

My heart is beating up and down,
Is walking like some heavy feet.
My heart is going every day,
And I can hear it jump and beat.

At night before I go to sleep,
I feel it beating in my head;
I hear it jumping in my neck
And in the pillow on my bed.

And then I make some little words
To go along and say with it--
The men are sailing home from Troy,
And all the lamps are lit.

The men are sailing home from Troy,
And all the lamps are lit.

[The end]
Elizabeth Madox Roberts's poem: My Heart
