THE MORNING SONGS, by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD Poet's Biography First Line: And will you sing the songs anew Last Line: Of morning memory. Alternate Author Name(s): Radford, Ernest, Mrs. Subject(s): Morning | ||||||||
AND will you sing the songs anew, The songs you made for me, When, in the sunrise and the dew, The earth seemed made so fair, for you To turn to melody? And will you seek the flowers again You gathered in the spring, Sweet flowers, fragrant with the rain Of tears you will not weep again, In all your gathering? Ah no, the morning songs are sung, And Time treads on apace, High overhead the sun is hung, While in its heat your life is swung, God grant you fullest grace: And tuneful ear to string your lute To every season's range, Until your lips are cold and mute, Till song and blossom bear their fruit In the great changeless change. But when the last full numbers break, The songs you made for me Shall stir, as when the birds awake, And in your heart sweet singing make, Of morning memory. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MORNING SONG by KARLE WILSON BAKER THE WHARF ON THAMES-SIDE: WINTER DAWN by LAURENCE BINYON POEM BEFORE BREAKFAST by TED KOOSER I'VE BEEN ASLEEP by PHILIP LEVINE SPRNG DAY: BREAKFAST TABLE by AMY LOWELL THE WAYSIDE STATION by EDWIN MUIR TO MY CHILDREN: 3 by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD |
