MEMORIES, by FENTON JOHNSON Poet's Biography First Line: When at evening in the vale I walk Last Line: In the heart of dying marigold. Subject(s): Love - Loss Of; Memory | ||||||||
When at evening in the vale I walk, Wrapt in memories of dear Lucille; When among the violets I lie, All my hours of love before me steal. Earth and heaven was this maid to me, And her voice the song of lark and wren; Now that she hath left my heart I know Through the love of women God makes men. If in distant countries I should dwell With a people strange and proudly cold, I would always see my long lost love In the heart of dying marigold. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MEMORY AS A HEARING AID by TONY HOAGLAND THE SAME QUESTION by JOHN HOLLANDER FORGET HOW TO REMEMBER HOW TO FORGET by JOHN HOLLANDER ON THAT SIDE by LAWRENCE JOSEPH MEMORY OF A PORCH by DONALD JUSTICE BEYOND THE HUNTING WOODS by DONALD JUSTICE |
