SONG (11), by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Our early years - our early years Last Line: Recall them not again. Alternate Author Name(s): L. E. L.; Maclean, Letitia Subject(s): Past | ||||||||
Our early years -- our early years, Recall them not again; The memory of former joy, The pang of former pain. Where is our childhood? Where are they The playmates of the heart, Whose first sweet lesson was to love, Whose second was to part? The Dead are with the past; for them How fruitless our despair! Unkindness, anger, fondness, grief, Alike are buried there. Alas! such thoughts can only weep The heart's most bitter rain: Our early years -- our early years, Recall them not again. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FERGUS FALLING by GALWAY KINNELL A TIME PAST by DENISE LEVERTOV LAST THINGS by WILLIAM MEREDITH CHRISTMAS TREE by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS THIS MORNING, GOD by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR CALYPSO WATCHING THE OCEAN by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON |
