WIDCOMBE CHURCHYARD by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE PLACE WHERE SOON I THINK TO LIE
Last Line: THAT LITTLE CARE.
Subject(s): CHURCHYARDS;

The place where soon I think to lie,
In its old creviced nook hard-by
Rears many a weed:
If parties bring you there, will you
Drop slily in a grain or two
Of wall-flower seed?

I shall not see it, and (too sure!)
I shall not ever hear that your
Light step was there;
But the rich odour some fine day
Will, what I cannot do, repay
That little care.
