LYRICS AND EPICS by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH

Poet Analysis

First Line: I WOULD BE THE LYRIC
Last Line: WORN BUT ONCE A YEAR!
Subject(s): POETRY & POETS;

I WOULD be the Lyric
Ever on the lip,
Rather than the Epic
Memory lets slip!
I would be the diamond
At my lady's ear,
Rather than the June-rose
Worn but once a year!
