KATHERINE, by EFFIE WALLER SMITH Poet's Biography First Line: To-day I am thinking of thee Last Line: Feel no more your fond embrace. Subject(s): Absence; Life; Love; Separation; Isolation | |||
To-day I am thinking of thee, Katherine, And of the days that used to be, Katherine; When together we two stood In a quiet, leafy wood By a little sylvan brook, While we read each other's love as a book! Ah! those days have long since flown, Katherine, They are gone, forever gone, Katherine; Those were days of "auld lang syne," Then I was yours and you were mine; Through elysian fields we walked, And of love we freely talked. Yes, we loved each then, Katherine, Life was then a sweet refrain, Katherine; But I'm sad to-day, my dearie, And the world seems, oh, so dreary, For I see no more your face, Feel no more your fond embrace. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE EVENING OF THE MIND by DONALD JUSTICE CHRISTMAS AWAY FROM HOME by JANE KENYON THE PROBLEM by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES WHEN A WOMAN LOVES A MAN by DAVID LEHMAN THIS UNMENTIONABLE FEELING by DAVID LEHMAN A GOOD-BYE by EFFIE WALLER SMITH |
