ONE DAY, by RUPERT BROOKE Poet's Biography First Line: Today I have been happy. All the day Last Line: Plays hourned to a little bitter mould. Subject(s): Soldiers' Writings | ||||||||
Today I have been happy. All the day I held the memory of you, and wove Its laughter with the dancing light o' the spray, And sowed the sky with tiny clouds of love, And sent you following the white waves of sea, And crowned your head with fancies, nothing worth, Stray buds from that old dust of misery, Being glad with a new foolish quiet mirth. So lightly I played with those dark memories, Just as a child, beneath the summer skies, Plays hourned to a little bitter mould. | Other Poems of Interest...1914: 1. PEACE by RUPERT BROOKE 1914: 2.
