A LOVELY young lady I mourn in my rhymes. She was pleasant, good-natured, and civil (sometimes), Her figure was good, she had very fine eyes, And her talk was a mixture of foolish and wise. Her adorers were many, and one of them said, 'She waltzed rather well -- it's a pity she's dead.' | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONG TO THE MEN OF ENGLAND by THOMAS CAMPBELL WRITTEN UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DELIRIUM by WILLIAM COWPER A BALLAD OF TREES AND THE MASTER by SIDNEY LANIER SONNET: DEATH-WARNINGS by FRANCISCO GOMEZ DE QUEVEDO Y VILLEGAS EPITAPH ON CHARLES II by JOHN WILMOT |
