Remembered is your every trick of speech, Your lilting smiles to merry laughter grown, The pregnant glances of your eyes, and each Soft, soothing touch my brow and hair have known. And all your moods from joy to darkened sorrow, And all the dreams of which you are the whole, And all the gleaming plans of life's tomorrow Have etched their deepening lines within my soul. And there a figure limned in joy and grief Holds balm to Hope that treks hand in our hand, Eternal symbol of our heart's belief, Hallowed by heaven's song and God's command. Fate never dreamed the burdened heart could find The splendored joy of love in faith enshrined. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO FLUSH, MY DOG by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING OPPORTUNITY by JOHN JAMES INGALLS THE GRAPE-VINE SWING by WILLIAM GILMORE SIMMS ODE TO LUDLOW CASTLE by LUCY AIKEN TO MRS W.
