OTHERS may need new life in Heaven -- Man, nature, Art -- made new, assume! Man with new mind old sense to leaven, Nature, -- new light to clear old gloom, Art that breaks bounds, gets soaring-room. I shall pray: "Fugitive as precious -- Minutes which passed, -- return, remain! Let earth's old life once more enmesh us, You with old pleasure, me -- old pain, So we but meet nor part again!" | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE ROSE by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH THERE IS NO LOVING AFTER DEATH by ASCLEPIADES OF SAMOS HOMER by WILLIAM EDMONSTOUNE AYTOUN MATRIMONIAL MELODIES: 3.
