THERE LET THY BLEEDING BRANCH ATONE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Alternate Author Name(s): Bell, Ellis
Subject(s): Youth; Memory; Trees; Wood Carving; Whittling


There let thy bleeding branch atone
āàFor every torturing tear.
Shall my young sins, my sins alone,
āàBe everlasting here?

Who bade thee keep that carvèd name
āàA pledge for memory?
As if oblivion ever came
āàTo breathe its bliss on me;

As if through all the 'wildering maze
āàOf mad hours left behind
I once forgot the early days
āàThat thou wouldst call to mind
