HEARTBREAK, by CHARLOTTE LOUISE GROOM First Line: I would remember the flower Last Line: The frost on a flower's face. Subject(s): Love - Loss Of | ||||||||
I would remember the flower, I would remember the leaf; But Christ, Lord Christ, let me forget The severing thorn beneath. Frost comes but timely in Autumn -- When days are completed and grown -- But Christ, Lord Christ, bid me forget The opening buds all brown. She that was flower in springtime, My treasure and life for a space, Oh Christ, Lord Christ, let me forget The frost on a flower's face. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ROSE AND MURRAY by CONRAD AIKEN THOUGH WE NO LONGER POSSESS IT by MARK JARMAN THE GLORY OF THE DAY WAS IN HER FACE by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON LOVE COME AND GONE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 33 by JAMES JOYCE A SCOTCH SONG by JOANNA BAILLIE TRANSLUCENT FINGERS by MALCOLM COWLEY AN ODE, PARAPHRASED: THE CUP by ANACREON OVER THE HILL TO THE POOR-HOUSE by WILLIAM MCKENDREE CARLETON |
