TO FAUSTINE, by ARTHUR WILLIS COLTON First Line: Sometime, it may be, you and I Last Line: "in this forgotten place?" | |||
SOMETIME, it may be, you and I In some deserted yard will lie Where Memory fades away; Caring no more for Love his dreams, Busy with new and alien themes, The saints and sages say. But let our graves be side by side, So idlers may at evening tide Pause there a moment's space: " Ah, they were lovers who lie here; Else why these low graves laid so near, In this forgotten place?" | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CONCERNING TABITHA'S DANCING OF THE MINUET by ARTHUR WILLIS COLTON HARPS HUNG UP IN BABYLON by ARTHUR WILLIS COLTON SOPHISTICATION by CONRAD AIKEN IN THE JEWISH SYNAGOGUE AT NEWPORT by EMMA LAZARUS INVOCATION by LOUIS UNTERMEYER HOW'S MY BOY? by SYDNEY THOMPSON DOBELL INCIDENT AT BRUGES by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH AN OLD CASTLE by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH |
