THE WILLOW, by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON Poet's Biography First Line: When life is young, without a care Last Line: Commingled with a tear. Alternate Author Name(s): Tremaine, John Subject(s): Aging; Consolation | ||||||||
When life is young, without a care, Alone we walk, and free: The world, a splendid merry round Of rhythmic melody. Before the end, grim sorrow calls Into each mortal ear, When friendship fades to memories, And love lies in its bier. Then, then it is that sympathy Is holden close and dear; Ah, then life's consolation comes Commingled with a tear. | Other Poems of Interest...CHAMBER MUSIC: 18 by JAMES JOYCE SHAKESPEARE'S GRAVE by ROBINSON JEFFERS RECOMPENSE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON EINSTEIN by ARCHIBALD MACLEISH HOLDERLIN'S JOURNEY by EDWIN MUIR THE PRODIGAL SON by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON ILKA BLADE O' GRASS KEPS ITS AIN DRAP O' DEW by JAMES BALLANTYNE COMFORT by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING DE PROFUNDIS by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING |
