TO HARRY ELLIS WOOLDRIDGE, by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES Poet's Biography First Line: Love and the muse have left their home, now bare Last Line: To match thee in thy wisdom and thy jest. Alternate Author Name(s): Bridges, Robert+(2) Subject(s): Collaboration; Friendship; Wooldridge, Harry Ellis (1845-1917) | ||||||||
Love and the Muse have left their home, now bare Of memorable beauty, all is gone, The dedicatd charm of Yattendon, Which thou wert apt, dear Hal, to build and share. What noble shades are flitting, who while-ere Haunted the ivy'd walls, where time ran on In sanctities of joy by reverence won, Music and choral grace and studies fair! These on some kindlier field, may Fate restore, And may the old house prosper, dispossest Of her whose equal it can nevermore Hold till it crumble: O nay! and the door Will moulder ere it open on a guest To match thee in thy wisdom and thy jest. | Other Poems of Interest...A PASSER-BY by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES APRIL, 1885 by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES ASIAN BIRDS by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES DEJECTION by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES EROS by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES I LOVE ALL BEAUTEOUS THINGS by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES LONDON SNOW by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES LOW BAROMETER by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES MATRES DOLOROSAE by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES NIGHTINGALES by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES |
