THE BROKEN TRYST, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Walking alone where we walked together
Last Line: Might I whirl away with them!


WALKING alone where we walked together,
When June was breezy and blue,
I watch in the gray autumnal weather
The leaves fall inconstant as you.

If a dead leaf startle behind me,
I think 't is your garment's hem,
And, oh, where no memory could find me.
Might I whirl away with them!
