A REMINISCENCE, by ANNE BRONTE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Yes, thou art gone! And never more Last Line: Has gladdened once our humble sphere. Alternate Author Name(s): Bell, Acton Subject(s): Absence; Separation; Isolation | ||||||||
YES, thou art gone! and never more Thy sunny smile shall gladden me; But I may pass the old church door, And pace the floor that covers thee, May stand upon the cold, damp stone, And think that, frozen, lies below The lightest heart that I have known, The kindest I shall ever know. Yet, though I cannot see thee more, 'Tis still a comfort to have seen; And though thy transient life is o'er, 'Tis sweet to think that thou hast been; To think a soul so near divine, Within a form, so angel fair, United to a heart like thine, Has gladdened once our humble sphere. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE EVENING OF THE MIND by DONALD JUSTICE CHRISTMAS AWAY FROM HOME by JANE KENYON THE PROBLEM by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES WHEN A WOMAN LOVES A MAN by DAVID LEHMAN THIS UNMENTIONABLE FEELING by DAVID LEHMAN |
