AN ADIEU, by FLORENCE EARLE COATES First Line: Sorrow, quit me for a while! Last Line: I shall not forget thee! Subject(s): Grief; Spring; Sorrow; Sadness | ||||||||
Sorrow, quit me for a while! Wintry days are over; Hope again, with April smile, Violets sows and clover. Pleasure follows in her path, Love itself flies after, And the brook a music hath Sweet as childhood's laughter. Not a bird upon the bough Can repress its rapture, Not a bud that blossoms now But doth beauty capture. Sorrow, thou art Winter's mate, Spring cannot regret thee; Yet, ah, yet -- my friend of late -- I shall not forget thee! | Other Poems of Interest...THE CROWDS CHEERED AS GLOOM GALLOPED AWAY by MATTHEA HARVEY SONOMA FIRE by JANE HIRSHFIELD AS THE SPARKS FLY UPWARDS by JOHN HOLLANDER WHAT GREAT GRIEF HAS MADE THE EMPRESS MUTE by JUNE JORDAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 19 by JAMES JOYCE DIRGE AT THE END OF THE WOODS by LEONIE ADAMS |
