AFTERMATH, by EMILY HENRIETTA HICKEY Poet's Biography First Line: To the fields where thou hadst mown in summertide Last Line: If her feet have hallowed for an aftermath? Subject(s): Catholics; Gardens & Gardening; Heaven; Spring; Roman Catholics; Catholicism; Paradise | ||||||||
TO the fields where thou hadst mown in summertide Came a Lady most exceeding fair to see; And she looked upon the brown fields lying wide; And she smiled upon thy fields and smiled on thee. Oh, that smile it was the springlight come again, Springlight fair as on the heart of Eden laid: And the patter sounded as of early rain, And the sunshine blessed each little stalk and blade. Must not autumn meadows once again be green, In a warmth and light as dear as summer hath, If the Queen of Christendom have walked therein, If her feet have hallowed for an aftermath? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE END OF LIFE by PHILIP JAMES BAILEY SEVEN TWILIGHTS: 6 by CONRAD AIKEN THE BOOK OF THE DEAD MAN (#19): 2.
