You sleep too well -- too far away, For sorrowing word to soothe or wound; Your very quiet seems to say How longed-for a peace you have found. Else, had not death so lured you on, You would have grieved -- 'twixt joy and fear -p To know how my small loving son Had wept for you, my dear. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...D'ANNUNZIO by ERNEST HEMINGWAY 1915: THE TRENCHES by CONRAD AIKEN TO OUR PRESIDENT by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE HORSES by KATHARINE LEE BATES CHILDREN OF THE WAR by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE U-BOAT CREWS by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE RED CROSS NURSE by KATHARINE LEE BATES WAR PROFITS by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE UNCHANGEABLE by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN ALL THAT'S PAST by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE |
