OTHERS WILL COME by FRANCIS VIELE-GRIFFIN

Poet Analysis

First Line: OTHERS WILL COME ACROSS THE PLAIN
Last Line: POURED YOUR SWEETNESS INTO SONG.
Subject(s): LOVE; SMILES;
OTHERS will come across the plain
Near you beside the gate to sit,
And you will smile at all your train
Of lovers, young and exquisite.

They will follow, follow, fleet
Your spring-time and its radiant glow --
Why so very swift their feet?
I was twenty once . . . I know.

All your smiles are now their own,
All your magic youth and strong . . .
What matter they? For I alone
Poured your sweetness into song.
