Do you remember how last year we walked Against the purple sun through pearly shade, And stopped all breathless, lingered there and talked, And heard swift pyrotechnics nature played? Then, as the twilight dozed, we crept along In grassy stillness; color flew away And rollicked with our breath of leafy song That skipped off, hiding, till the yellow day. Do not forget! For those green times now laugh In glee with sport and thought and lily dance; And fate in vanity now leaps to chaff Me smiling at her winking circumstance. These thoughts are fancy-painted, and you see Their tone is light because they could not be! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BARMAID AND THE ALEXANDRITE by KAREN SWENSON AT CASTERBRIDGE FAIR: 4.
