THE WARDROBE OF REMEMBRANCE, by WILLIAM ROSE BENET Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Guises your moods once wore are hung within Last Line: The kind words agitation made unkind. | |||
Guises your moods once wore are hung within The closet of my mind. I take access This moment to regard them and confess How spare for want of you they hang, and thin. Pity seems all their argument may win, That fine, frail rustling of each mood's meet dress. Yet starts a subtle incense from the press, Crushed perfumes of the flowers your thoughts have been. Sweeter than e'er you spoke them do they come Again with finer relish to my mind Starved on your absence. False surmise is numb, For now in these reliques of you I find The smile you meant when rebel lips were dumb, The kind words agitation made unkind. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A COLD TEMPERAMENT by WILLIAM ROSE BENET A PASSSGE TO ITALY by WILLIAM ROSE BENET A SONG OF DAWN AT DUSK by WILLIAM ROSE BENET A STREET MOTHER by WILLIAM ROSE BENET AFTER-SIGHT by WILLIAM ROSE BENET AGNOSTIC TO MYSTIC by WILLIAM ROSE BENET AN EMISSARY TO HEAVEN by WILLIAM ROSE BENET AS FROM THE PAST -- by WILLIAM ROSE BENET BOOKS ET VERITAS by WILLIAM ROSE BENET |
