A DEAD HARVEST (IN KENSINGTON GARDENS), by ALICE MEYNELL Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Along the graceless grass of town Last Line: Bosom nor barn is filled with these. Alternate Author Name(s): Meynell, Wilfrid, Mrs.; Thompson, Alice Christina Subject(s): Kensington Gardens | |||
ALONG the graceless grass of town They rake the rows of red and brown, -- Dead leaves, unlike the rows of hay Delicate, touched with gold and grey, Raked long ago and far away. A narrow silence in the park, Between the lights a narrow dark, One street rolls on the north; and one, Muffled, upon the south doth run; Amid the mist the work is done. A futile crop! -- for it the fire Smoulders, and, for a stack, a pyre. So go the town's lives on the breeze, Even as the sheddings of the trees; Bosom nor barn is filled with these. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A NIGHTINGALE IN KENSINGTON GARDENS by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON IN KENSINGTON GARDENS by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS KENSINGTON GARDEN, SELS. by THOMAS TICKELL INSCRIPTION FOUND IN A SEAT IN KENSINGTON GARDENS, C. 1844 by UNKNOWN I AM THE WAY' by ALICE MEYNELL A FATHER OF WOMEN: AD SOROREM E.
