AN EPITAPH by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE

Poet Analysis

First Line: LAST, STONE, A LITTLE YET
Last Line: SHARING IN SOLITUDE HER DREAMS WITH THEE.
Subject(s): BEAUTY; EPITAPHS; TRANSIENCE; IMPERMANENCE;

Last, Stone, a little yet;
And then this dust forget.
But thou, fair Rose, bloom on.
For she who is gone
Was lovely too; nor would she grieve to be
Sharing in solitude her dreams with thee.
