TO THE MEMORY OF EDMUND CLARENCE STEDMAN, DEAR FRIEND by LIZETTE WOODWORTH REESE

Poet Analysis

First Line: HOUSE, HOW STILL YOU ARE
Last Line: SINCE HE IS NOT HERE!
Subject(s): STEDMAN, EDMUND CLARENCE (1833-1908);

House, how still you are;
Hearth, how cold!
He was vital as a star,
As the April mold.
Friend and singer, lad and knight,
Very dear; --
Hearts, how bare the dark, the light,
Since he is not here!
