OH! EVER THUS DO SUN AND SHADE, by CHARLOTTE YOUNG First Line: Oh! Did you list at morning to the merry bridal bell Last Line: By turns this mortal life pervade. | |||
Oh! did you list at morning to the merry bridal bell, That stealing through the fields and woods, so soft and cheery fell? And hear you now so mournfully the knell of parting life, That minds you of some sever'd tie, -- of husband, son, or wife? Oh! ever thus do sun and shade By turns this mortal life pervade. And did you see the passing gloom upon the maiden's brow, The silent tear upon her cheek? -- And do you see her now, -- Her face lit up with sunny smiles, all radiant with delight, Her eyes that beam with innocence, in Love's own beauty bright? Oh! ever thus do sun and shade By turns this mortal life pervade. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EVERY-DAY HEROES by CHARLOTTE YOUNG THE BIRD AND THE FOUNTAIN by CHARLOTTE YOUNG THE POOR MAN'S FLOWER by CHARLOTTE YOUNG THE WORLD'S COMPLAINT, SELECTION by CHARLOTTE YOUNG STANZAS ON THE DEATH OF A FRIEND by REGINALD HEBER SHERIDAN'S RIDE [DECEMBER 19, 1864] by THOMAS BUCHANAN READ THE PALACE OF ART by ALFRED TENNYSON |
