THE NIGHTS REMEMBER, by SARA TEASDALE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The days remember and the nights remember Last Line: And found his crown stolen and his throne decayed. Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs. | |||
The days remember and the nights remember The kingly hours that once you made so great, Deep in my heart they lie, hidden in their splendor, Buried like sovereigns in their robes of state. Let them not wake again, better to lie there, Wrapped in memories, jewelled and arrayed -- Many a ghostly king has waked from death-sleep And found his crown stolen and his throne decayed. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A LITTLE WHILE by SARA TEASDALE A MINUET OF MOZART'S by SARA TEASDALE A WINTER BLUEJAY by SARA TEASDALE |
