First Line: Dear as the brief october sun
Last Line: More salt than all the seas of death is memory.
Subject(s): Memory
DEAR as the brief October sun,
Or red fruit on the sombre yew,
Or robin's song when summer's done, Is Memory.
Sharper than frost's two-edgéd breath,
Or any wind that ever blew,
More salt than all the Seas of Death Is Memory.
