She that was myself went by, Long ago and long ago, Light of foot and gay of eye. Oh, the path was green and high Roses nodded row on row -- She that was myself went by. Swift she went and happily, Like a cloud the spring winds blow -- Light of foot and gay of eye. Old with many griefs I sigh, Youth is winged, Time is slow -- She that was myself went by. Vain the summons, vain the cry -- She will never turn I trow, Light of foot and gay of eye. Here alone sit Age and I Since that day when, watching so, She that was myself went by Light of foot and gay of eye. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE NEGRO DANCERS by CLAUDE MCKAY MOTLEY: MUSIC by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE A SNOW-STORM; SCENE IN A VERMONT WINTER by CHARLES GAMAGE EASTMAN ULTIMA VERITAS by WASHINGTON GLADDEN FAUST: SCENE 1.
