Classic and Contemporary Poetry
ETERNAL, by MARY HOGE BRUCE First Line: When I have told the world goodbye Last Line: I know I shall remember you. Subject(s): Immortality | |||
When I have told the world goodbye, I may not need the skylark's song, Nor gardens fragrant in the dusk Whose beauty I have known so long. I shall not feel the sun's caress, Nor hear the whisper of the rain, The storm-pierced sunsets I have loved, My eyes may never see again. And though my feet shall seek the stars, Forgetting earth in scenes anew, All things may pass except your face: I know I shall remember you. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WALLACE STEVENS' LETTERS by ROBERT BLY DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING by DAVID IGNATOW I CLOSE MY EYES by DAVID IGNATOW IN 'DESIGNING A CLOAK TO CLOAK HIS DESIGNS' YOU WRESTED FROM OBLIVION by MARIANNE MOORE THE THINGS THAT DIE by GREGORY ORR THE MAN WHO DIED TWICE by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON |
