RETROSPECTION, by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: After all Last Line: For I can never know regret. Alternate Author Name(s): Tremaine, John Subject(s): Memory | |||
After all— mine is the joy Which naught can lessen or destroy. For love has led my flying feet Where immortelles are springing sweet, And everlasting skies of gold Are memories, when earth is cold And though our future paths should lie Estranged, as star-ways, through the sky, I shall not look reproof, nor find Within this pass a charge unkind, And lightly sorrow shall be met For I can never know regret. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MEMORY AS A HEARING AID by TONY HOAGLAND THE SAME QUESTION by JOHN HOLLANDER FORGET HOW TO REMEMBER HOW TO FORGET by JOHN HOLLANDER ON THAT SIDE by LAWRENCE JOSEPH MEMORY OF A PORCH by DONALD JUSTICE BEYOND THE HUNTING WOODS by DONALD JUSTICE OLD BLACK MEN by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON |
