Return
D. H. Lawrence
1885 to 1930
Now I am come again, you who have so desired
My coming, why do you look away from me?
Why does your cheek burn against me—have I inspired
Such anger as sets your mouth unwontedly?
Ah, here I sit while you break the music beneath
Your bow; for broken it is, and hurting to hear:
Cease then from music—does anguish of absence bequeath
Me only aloofness when I would draw near?
D. H. Lawrence's Return
I am busy working to bring D. H. Lawrence's "Return" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about D. H. Lawrence's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Return" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
