Here oonce did sound sweet words, a-spoke In wind that swum Where ivy clomb, About the ribby woak; An' still the words, though now a-gone, Be dear to me, that linger on. An' here, as comely vo'k did pass, Their sheädes did slide Below their zide, Along the flow'ry grass, An' though the sheädes be all a-gone, Still dear's the ground they vell upon. But could they come where then they stroll'd, However young Mid sound their tongue, Their sheädes would show em wold; But dear, though they be all a-gone, Be sheädes o' trees that linger on. O ashèn poles, a-sheenèn tall! You be too young To have a-sprung In days when I wer small; But you, broad woak, wi' ribby rind, Wer here so long as I can mind. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HE FINDS THE MANSION by JAMES MCMICHAEL BY DIFFERENT PATHS by MARVIN BELL DRIVING HOME by MADELINE DEFREES ART IS PARALLEL TO NATURE by CLARENCE MAJOR HIGHWAY 2, ILLINOIS by LISEL MUELLER A WINTER NIGHT by WILLIAM BARNES |
