THE HEART-CRY, by FRANCIS WILLIAM BOURDILLON Poet's Biography First Line: She turned the page of wounds and death Last Line: Rests to face life as fearlessly. Subject(s): Grief; Women & War; World War I - Casualties; Sorrow; Sadness | |||
SHE turned the page of wounds and death With trembling fingers. In a breath The gladness of her life became Naught but a memory and a name. Farewell! Farewell! I might not share The perils it was yours to dare. Dauntless you fronted death: for me Rests to face life as fearlessly. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONOMA FIRE by JANE HIRSHFIELD AS THE SPARKS FLY UPWARDS by JOHN HOLLANDER WHAT GREAT GRIEF HAS MADE THE EMPRESS MUTE by JUNE JORDAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 19 by JAMES JOYCE DIRGE AT THE END OF THE WOODS by LEONIE ADAMS LIGHT [AND LOVE] by FRANCIS WILLIAM BOURDILLON |
