HINC LACHRIMAE; OR THE AUTHOR TO AURORA: 15, by WILLIAM BOSWORTH Poet's Biography First Line: The time will come, when thy beloved face Last Line: His glorious date, thou wilt recall thy ire. Alternate Author Name(s): William Boxworth Subject(s): Regret; Transience; Impermanence | ||||||||
The time will come, when thy beloved face Shall lose the spring, with which it now is clad; When thou art old, thou in some secret place Wilt sit, and think of all the wrongs I had: Then wilt thou read these my unpolish'd plaints, The chronicles of my unpitied cries; When thou art old, perhaps thy heart shall faint For shame, and let one tear forsake thy eyes; I know thou wilt, and ere thy sun expire His glorious date, thou wilt recall thy ire. | Other Poems of Interest...FROM THE SPANISH by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON CHAMBER MUSIC: 17 by JAMES JOYCE SOUTHERN GOTHIC by DONALD JUSTICE THE BEACH IN AUGUST by WELDON KEES THE MAN SPLITTING WOOD IN THE DAYBREAK by GALWAY KINNELL THE SEEKONK WOODS by GALWAY KINNELL ARCADIUS AND SEPHA by WILLIAM BOSWORTH HINC LACHRIMAE; OR THE AUTHOR TO AURORA: 1 by WILLIAM BOSWORTH |
