THE LATER LOVE, by MARY NARBY COTTREL First Line: Oh, the later love is the greater love Last Line: In quiet pools of rest. Subject(s): Love; Time | ||||||||
Oh, the later love is the greater love, And of all life's loves the best, Hands fondly clasped in autumn With knowing hearts are blest. Like a woodland lake in fall-time It reflects the glory of day, Lost in the truculent torrent, The turbulent passions of May. Oh, the later love is the greater, And of human loves the best; Like deep, reflecting waters, In quiet pools of rest. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ELEVEN EYES: FINAL SECTION by LYN HEJINIAN THE FATALIST: COME OCTOBER by LYN HEJINIAN THE FATALIST: HOME by LYN HEJINIAN THE FATALIST: TIME IS FILLED by LYN HEJINIAN SLOWLY: I FREQUENTLY SLOWLY WISH by LYN HEJINIAN ALL THE DIFFICULT HOURS AND MINUTES by JANE HIRSHFIELD A DAY IS VAST by JANE HIRSHFIELD FROM THIS HEIGHT by TONY HOAGLAND |
