When I have told the world goodbye, I may not need the skylark's song, Nor gardens fragrant in the dusk Whose beauty I have known so long. I shall not feel the sun's caress, Nor hear the whisper of the rain, The storm-pierced sunsets I have loved, My eyes may never see again. And though my feet shall seek the stars, Forgetting earth in scenes anew, All things may pass except your face: I know I shall remember you. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...COMIN' THRO' THE RYE by ROBERT BURNS IN THE MORNING by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR BIRTHDAY OF DANIEL WEBSTER by OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES FROLIC by GEORGE WILLIAM RUSSELL TO A CERTAIN CIVILIAN by WALT WHITMAN BIRD CONVERSATIONS, SELECTION by FARID OD-DIN MOHAMMAD EBN EBRAHIM ATTAR |
