A NOBLE LADY by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON

Poet Analysis

First Line: A PALE AND STATELY LADY, WITH A BROW
Last Line: THE PAST HAD LEFT ITS DARKNESS.
Subject(s): PAST;

A PALE and stately lady, with a brow
That might have well beseem'd a Roman dame,
Cornelia, ere her glorious children died;
Or that imperial mother, who beheld
Her son forgive his country at her word.
Yet there was trouble written on her face;
The past had left its darkness.
