OUR LADY OF CONSOLATION, by GORDON BOTTOMLEY Poet's Biography First Line: We seek you in the garden to and fro Last Line: And all our hearts are with you now as then. Subject(s): Consolation | |||
WE seek you in the garden to and fro, Thinking how much it was your loved abode; We gather heartsease from the seed you sowed, And every blossom seems a gift from you. Then we remember your hushed bed, and go Where rosemary and roses round you strewed Droop tenderly, by dying faintness bowed, While dreams of girlhood smooth your white worn brow. Ah lately lost and always unforgot, Come oft unseen and sit with us again And soothe us with your old benignity. We cannot think you do not share our lot, For here your heart was when you were not nigh, And all our hearts are with you now as then. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SHAKESPEARE'S GRAVE by ROBINSON JEFFERS RECOMPENSE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE WILLOW by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON EINSTEIN by ARCHIBALD MACLEISH HOLDERLIN'S JOURNEY by EDWIN MUIR THE PRODIGAL SON by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON ILKA BLADE O' GRASS KEPS ITS AIN DRAP O' DEW by JAMES BALLANTYNE COMFORT by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING |
