AT THE CLOSE OF SCHOOL, by EFFIE WALLER SMITH Poet's Biography First Line: As to-day I sit and muse Last Line: Will haunt in my memory still. Subject(s): Love - Beginnings; Schools; Students | ||||||||
As to-day I sit and muse Over the dreamy past, In my memory comes a scene Of December last. How well do I remember The mountains huge and tall, That stood on both the sides and rear Of the school house quaint and small. 'Twas the last day of the term -- The teacher was my brother, And among the crowd that day There still was another. Who comes so vividly just now In my fond recollection, Who had my warmest friendship and My dearest, best affection. Ah! well do I remember, Nor shall I soon forget, His jetty curls and lovely eyes, The first day that we met. Many of the ones I saw, Only last December, At the closing of the school, I cannot now remember. But there is one, yes, there is one, Do what I may, go where I will, His lovely eyes and jetty curls Will haunt in my memory still. | Other Poems of Interest...THE FUTURE OF TERROR / 1 by MATTHEA HARVEY IN MICHAEL ROBINS?ÇÖS CLASS MINUS ONE by HICOK.
