PIERRETTE IN MEMORY, by WILLIAM GRIFFITH Poet's Biography First Line: Pierrette has gone, but it was not Last Line: And sun away with her. | |||
Pierrette has gone, but it was not Exactly that she died, So much as vanished and forgot To tell where she would hide. To keep a sudden rendezvous, It came into her mind That she was late. What could she do But leave distress behind? Afraid of being in disgrace, And hurrying to dress, She heard there was another place In need of loveliness. She went so softly and so soon, She hardly made a stir; But going took the stars and moon And sun away with her. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LITANY OF NATIONS by WILLIAM GRIFFITH SPRING SONG by WILLIAM GRIFFITH SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: MAGRADY GRAHAM by EDGAR LEE MASTERS FELICIA HEMANS by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON LOUIS XV by JOHN STERLING (1806-1844) IN MEMORIAM A.H.H.: 9 by ALFRED TENNYSON A GULL GOES UP by LEONIE ADAMS LAURENCE BLOOMFIELD IN IRELAND: 8.
