ONE SUMMER MORNING, by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK Poet's Biography First Line: It is but a little while ago Last Line: As it looked before this happened -- long ago! Alternate Author Name(s): Mulock, Dinah Maria | ||||||||
IT is but a little while ago: The elm-leaves have scarcely begun to drop away; The sunbeams strike the elm-trunk just where they struck that day -- Yet all seems to have happened long ago. And the year rolleth round, slow, slow: Autumn will fade to winter and winter melt in spring, New life return again to every living thing. Soon, this will have happened long ago. The bonnie wee flowers will blow; The trees will re-clothe themselves, the birds sing out amain, -- But never, never, never will the world look again As it looked before this happened -- long ago! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DOUGLAS, DOUGLAS, TENDER AND TRUE by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK HER LIKENESS by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK NOW AND AFTERWARDS by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK ONLY A WOMAN by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK PHILIP, MY KING by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK A 'MERCENARY' MARRIAGE by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK A CHILD'S SMILE by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK A CHRISTMAS CAROL by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK A DEAD BABY by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK A DEAD SEA-GULL; NEAR LIVERPOOL by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK |
