LET EACH ALONE WITH TIMELY THOUGHT by FREDERICK WILLIAM HENRY MYERS

Last Line: That sprang beside the way
Subject(s): MEMORY;
Let each alone with timely thought
Recall the days grown dim,
And ask those days whereby they brought
His happiness to him;

He finds it was not in the set
Delights resolved before,
Nor any eager wish, nor yet
The wish fulfilled and more.

But dreams he scarcely wiU confess.
And momentary play.
And unconsidered gleefulness
That sprang beside the way.
