LOST THINGS, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Oh, I could let the world go by
Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs.
Subject(s): Nature


Oh, I could let the world go by,
Its loud new wonders and its wars,
But how will I give up the sky
When winter dusk is set with stars?

And I could let the cities go,
Their changing customs and their creeds,
But oh, the summer rains that blow
In silver on the jewel-weeds!
