He is no longer with us; far too soon His lovely soul took its unearthly flight To regions far away from star or moon— To Elysian places of delight. Methinks if we could see beyond the sky We'd know how sweetly the immortals dwell Then age-old mysteries would clarify, Illusions disappear and doubts dispel. Indeed if we could see, we'd yearn to go, There'd be no canting to conceal our zeal; But strangely here within this bungalow Although we cannot see, yet we can feel— No longer with us—while my sad eyes fill I know full well his love protects us still. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...REVIEW by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON GREEN SYMPHONY by JOHN GOULD FLETCHER THE CARD-DEALER by DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI A NYMPH TO A YOUNG SHEPHERD, INSENSIBLE OF LOVE by PHILIP AYRES WHO GOES THERE? by GRACE DUFFIE BOYLAN THE TARBOLTON LASSES by ROBERT BURNS |
