WIDCOMBE CHURCHYARD, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: The place where soon I think to lie
Last Line: That little care.
Variant Title(s): The Wall-flower;a Request;youth And Age
Subject(s): Churchyards


The place where soon I think to lie,
In its old creviced nook hard-by
Rears many a weed:
If parties bring you there, will you
Drop slily in a grain or two
Of wall-flower seed?

I shall not see it, and (too sure!)
I shall not ever hear that your
Light step was there;
But the rich odour some fine day
Will, what I cannot do, repay
That little care.
