What frail sympathy long past Linked a lost name to my name On this page? What parting came, That no pang of it should last? The leaf torn, the volume cast To the hawkers of the town Tell the tale; till bending down You redeemed the rumpled sheaf, You who from man's dust and grief Know to pluck his starry crown. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE THREE CHILDREN by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN STUDY #2 FOR B.B.L. by JUNE JORDAN WATCHING THE NEEDLEBOATS AT SAN SABBA by JAMES JOYCE SESTINA: TRAVEL NOTES by WELDON KEES |
