THE LATER MINSTREL, by ROBERT FROST Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Remember some departed day Last Line: And triumphs over doubt. Subject(s): Minstrels | ||||||||
Remember some departed day, When bathed in autumn gold, You wished for some sweet song, and sighed For minstrel days of old. And that same golden autumn day, Perhaps the fates would bring At eve, one knocking at your heart, With perfect songs to sing. You knew that never bard on earth, Did wander wide as he -- Who sang the long, long thoughts of Youth, The Secret of the Sea. You knew not when he might not come, But while he made delays, You wronged the wisdom that you had, And sighed for vanished days. Song's times and seasons are its own, Its ways past finding out, But more and more it fills the earth, And triumphs over doubt. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE IMPROVISATORE: THE INDUCTION TO THE FIRST FYTTE by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES THE IMPROVISATORE: THE INDUCTION TO THE SECOND FYTTE by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES THE IMPROVISATORE: THE INDUCTION TO THE THIRD FYTTE by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES TO THE MINSTREL GIRL by THOMAS AUGUSTINE DALY THE WARNING WAIL by JANET HAMILTON GERMANY; A WINTER TALE: CAPUT 24 by HEINRICH HEINE THE MINNESINGERS by HEINRICH HEINE THE MINSTREL BARD by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS THE MINSTREL OF PORTUGAL by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON |
