FAREWELL, by REGINALD HEBER Poet's Biography First Line: When eyes are beaming Last Line: Of those that bid farewell! Subject(s): Farewell; Parting | ||||||||
WHEN eyes are beaming What never tongue might tell; When tears are streaming From their crystal cell, When hands are linked that dread to part, And heart is met by throbbing heart, Oh bitter, bitter is the smart Of them that bid farewell! When hope is chidden That fain of bliss would tell, And love forbidden In the breast to dwell, -- When, fetter'd by a viewless chain, We turn and gaze and turn again, Oh death were mercy to the pain Of those that bid farewell! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE THREE CHILDREN by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN STUDY #2 FOR B.B.L. by JUNE JORDAN WATCHING THE NEEDLEBOATS AT SAN SABBA by JAMES JOYCE SESTINA: TRAVEL NOTES by WELDON KEES EVENING HYMN by REGINALD HEBER |
