I DIGGED thy grave in my memory Years ago,oh! years ago! And for oblivion over thee The poppies grow, the poppies grow. But still, when Hesperus is high, Pansies for thoughts I drop thereby, And let them lie, and let them lie, Since from thy bitter I drew sweet. Yet are the pansies at thy feet, The pansies pale thy head above Not sown of Love, not sown of Love. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A FRIEND KILLED IN THE WAR by ANTHONY HECHT FOR JAMES MERRILL: AN ADIEU by ANTHONY HECHT TARANTULA: OR THE DANCE OF DEATH by ANTHONY HECHT CHAMPS D?ÇÖHONNEUR by ERNEST HEMINGWAY NOTE TO REALITY by TONY HOAGLAND A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN TO HER LOVER by RACHEL ANNAND TAYLOR |
