SOLVITUR ACRIS HIEMS, by ARTHUR HUGH CLOUGH Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Youth, that went, is come again Last Line: Eva, tell me! | |||
YOUTH, that went, is come again, Youth, for which we all were fain; With soft pleasure and sweet pain In each nerve and every vein, Circling through the heart and brain, Whence and wherefore come again? Eva, tell me! Dead and buried when we thought him, Who the magic spell hath taught him? Who the strong elixir brought him? Dead and buried as we thought, Lo! unasked for and unsought Comes he, shall it be for nought? Eva, tell me! Youth that lifeless long had lain, Youth that long we longed in vain for, Used to grumble and complain for, Thought at last to entertain A decorous cool disdain for, On a sudden see again Comes, but will not long remain, Comes, with whom too in his train, Comes, and shall it be in vain? Eva, tell me! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN A LECTURE-ROOM by ARTHUR HUGH CLOUGH NATURA NATURANS by ARTHUR HUGH CLOUGH QUA CURSUM VENTUS by ARTHUR HUGH CLOUGH SONGS IN ABSENCE: 7.
