A MEMORY, by EDWARD BLISS REED First Line: Over the balsams a golden fleece Last Line: Gently the night winds sigh. Subject(s): Memory | ||||||||
Over the balsams a golden fleece Floats in the evening sky. Gently the night wind whispers peace, Softly the branches sigh. Joys that once thrilled, Sorrows that stilled, Come not again from the past. Hopes that once led Are forgotten and dead, Then why should this memory last? Over the balsams a golden fleece Fades in the darkening sky. A wood-thrush is singing of rest and of peace, Gently the night winds sigh. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MEMORY AS A HEARING AID by TONY HOAGLAND THE SAME QUESTION by JOHN HOLLANDER FORGET HOW TO REMEMBER HOW TO FORGET by JOHN HOLLANDER ON THAT SIDE by LAWRENCE JOSEPH MEMORY OF A PORCH by DONALD JUSTICE BEYOND THE HUNTING WOODS by DONALD JUSTICE A PICTURE by EDWARD BLISS REED |
