SOMETIMES at night I stand within a court Where I have play'd by day; And still the walls are vibrant with the sport, And still the air is pulsing with the sway Of agile limbs that now, their labours o'er, To healthful sleep their strength resign -- But how of those who play'd with me langsyne, And sleep for evermore? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TENNIS TROPHY by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS ON THE TENNIS COURT AT NIGHT by GALWAY KINNELL A SUBALTERN'S LOVE-SONG by JOHN BETJEMAN THE MIDNIGHT TENNIS MATCH by THOMAS LUX A BALLADE OF LAWN TENNIS by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS TWO SEASONS by CLARENCE BLENDON BURLEIGH A SERMON AT CLEVEDON; GOOD FRIDAY by THOMAS EDWARD BROWN |
