A MEMORY by WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE

First Line: MY HEART TO THEE AN ANSWER MAKES
Last Line: WITHIN A GIRL'S BLUE EYES.
Subject(s): MEMORY;
MY heart to thee an answer makes,
0 long, slow whisper of the sea,
Whose charm of mournful music wakes
A dream, a memory.
Touched hands, met lips, and soft fair speech --
Soul's silence to the past replies,
When love and hope illumined each,
Within a girl's blue eyes.
