SUSANNAH FRY by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE

Poet Analysis

First Line: HERE SLEEP I
Last Line: UNDER THE ROSE.
Subject(s): EPITAPHS;

Here sleep I,
Susannah Fry,
No one near me,
No one nigh:
Alone, alone
Under my stone,
Dreaming on,
Still dreaming on:
Grass for my valance
And coverlid,
Dreaming on
As I always did.
'Weak in the head?'
Maybe. Who knows?
Susannah Fry
Under the rose.
