SONG, by GERALD JOSEPH GRIFFIN Poet's Biography First Line: A place in thy memory, dearest Last Line: Oh, dearest, remember me. | |||
A PLACE in thy memory, dearest, Is all that I claim, To pause and look back when thou hearest The sound of my name. Another may woo thee nearer, Another may win and wear; I care not, though he be dearer, If I am remembered there. Could I be thy true lover, dearest, Couldst thou smile on me, I would be the fondest and nearest That ever loved thee. But a cloud o'er my pathway is glooming Which never must break upon thine, And Heaven, which made thee all blooming, Ne'er made thee to wither on mine. Remember me not as a lover Whose fond hopes are crossed, Whose bosom can never recover The light it has lost; As the young bride remembers the mother She loves, yet never may see, As a sister remembers a brother, Oh, dearest, remember me. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ADARE by GERALD JOSEPH GRIFFIN GILLE MACHREE (BRIGHTENER OF MY HEART) by GERALD JOSEPH GRIFFIN LINES TO A SEAGULL by GERALD JOSEPH GRIFFIN MITCHELSTOWN CAVERNS by GERALD JOSEPH GRIFFIN NOCTURNE by GERALD JOSEPH GRIFFIN O BRAZIL, THE ISLE OF THE BLEST by GERALD JOSEPH GRIFFIN ORANGE AND GREEN by GERALD JOSEPH GRIFFIN SHANID CASTLE by GERALD JOSEPH GRIFFIN THE BRIDAL OF MALAHIDE by GERALD JOSEPH GRIFFIN THE INVASION: SONG.
