This I shall remember Beyond all time and space: We owned one Spring together; And Eden was a place With little knowing tables And candles blue and tall, With cobwebs on the ceiling And shadows on the wall. There is no gate to Eden Nor any threshold where The wary hearted falter And wonder if they dare. Though we were there I never knew Just how it came about -- Or how we happened on the place Where we came out. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LOVELY CHANCE by SARA TEASDALE THE STATUE AND THE BUST by ROBERT BROWNING TO THE MEMORY OF MR.
