SWEET REMEMBRANCES, by THOMAS MOORE Poet's Biography First Line: Let fate do her worst; there are relics of joy Alternate Author Name(s): Little, Thomas Variant Title(s): The Scent Of The Rose | |||
Let Fate do her worst, there are relics of joy, Bright dreams of the past, which she can not destroy; Which come in the night-time of sorrow and care, And bring back the features that joy used to wear. Long, long be my heart with such memories filled! Like the vase , in which roses have once been distilled You may break, you may shatter the vase , you will, But the scent of the roses will hang round it still. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A TEMPLE TO FRIENDSHIP by THOMAS MOORE AFTER THE BATTLE (OF AUGHRIM) by THOMAS MOORE BLACK AND BLUE EYES by THOMAS MOORE ECHO [OR, ECHOES] by THOMAS MOORE LALLA ROOKH: PARADISE AND THE PERI by THOMAS MOORE LOVE'S YOUNG DREAM by THOMAS MOORE O, BREATHE NOT HIS NAME! by THOMAS MOORE OH!
