BIZARRE, by JOHN ORLEY ALLEN TATE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Do you remember how last year we walked Last Line: Their tone is light because they could not be! Alternate Author Name(s): Tate, Allen | ||||||||
Do you remember how last year we walked Against the purple sun through pearly shade, And stopped all breathless, lingered there and talked, And heard swift pyrotechnics nature played? Then, as the twilight dozed, we crept along In grassy stillness; color flew away And rollicked with our breath of leafy song That skipped off, hiding, till the yellow day. Do not forget! For those green times now laugh In glee with sport and thought and lily dance; And fate in vanity now leaps to chaff Me smiling at her winking circumstance. These thoughts are fancy-painted, and you see Their tone is light because they could not be! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BORED TO CHORESIS by JOHN ORLEY ALLEN TATE CALIDUS JUVENTA? by JOHN ORLEY ALLEN TATE CUL-DE-SAC by JOHN ORLEY ALLEN TATE EDGES by JOHN ORLEY ALLEN TATE ELEGY FOR EUGENESIS by JOHN ORLEY ALLEN TATE ELEGY ON JEFFERSON DAVIS by JOHN ORLEY ALLEN TATE EUTHANASIA by JOHN ORLEY ALLEN TATE FAIR CUIRASS SHATTERED by JOHN ORLEY ALLEN TATE HITCH YOUR WAGON TO A STAR by JOHN ORLEY ALLEN TATE HORATIAN EPODE TO THE DUCHESS OF MALFI by JOHN ORLEY ALLEN TATE |
