AN EPITAPH, by GEORGE JOHN CAYLEY First Line: A lovely young lady I mourn in my rhymes Last Line: She waltzed rather well -- it's a pity she's dead.' | |||
A LOVELY young lady I mourn in my rhymes. She was pleasant, good-natured, and civil (sometimes), Her figure was good, she had very fine eyes, And her talk was a mixture of foolish and wise. Her adorers were many, and one of them said, 'She waltzed rather well -- it's a pity she's dead.' | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WOMAN by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON SLEEPLESS NIGHT by SARA TEASDALE IN A MYRTLE SHADE by WILLIAM BLAKE OF A BAD SINGER; EPIGRAM by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE |
