DIRGE by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES

Poet Analysis

First Line: TO HER COUCH OF EVENING REST
Last Line: AND WHOSE SWEETS ARE SWEETLY DEAD.
Subject(s): DEATH; DEAD, THE;
TO her couch of evening rest
'Neath the sun's divinest west,
Bear we, in the silent car,
This consumed incense star,
This dear maid whose life is shed,
And whose sweets are sweetly dead.
