YOU MAY REMEMBER, by LULU PIPER AIKEN First Line: Heart, be still of your constant agitation! Last Line: But only now, a moment, may you hear. | |||
Heart, be still of your constant agitation! Sorrow may pass on swift though fragile wings; Put joy, the while you may, upon probation, And listen, oh listen! -- a wood thrush sings. Be quiet, heart! Nights are long in December, When there are empty silences and drear; In many an hour then you may remember, But only now, a moment, may you hear. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MATE (1) by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THESMOPHORIAZUSAE: EURIPIDES by ARISTOPHANES THE OUTCAST'S DREAM by OLIVE BELL NO-MORE-FEAR by WILLIAM ROSE BENET A SONG FOR THE RAGGED SCHOOLS OF LONDON; WRITTEN IN ROME by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING |
