DIRGE by ADELAIDE CRAPSEY

Poet Analysis

First Line: NEVER THE NIGHTINGALE, / O MY DEAR
Last Line: MY DEAR, MY DEAR.
Subject(s): DEATH; DEAD, THE;
Never the nightingale,
Oh, my dear,
Never again the lark,
Thou wilt hear.
Though dusk and the morning still
Tap at thy window-sill,
Though ever love call and call,
Thou wilt not hear at all,
My dear, my dear.
