Where are our sweethearts? They are in the grave: They are more fortunate In a better place! They dwell near angels, In the depth of the blue sky, And they sing praises Of the Mother of God! O pure betrothed! O young maid in flower! Forsaken loved one, Blighted by grief! Profound eternity Smiled in your eyes . . . Lights smothered by the world, Be rekindled in heaven! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO THE WATER NYMPHS DRINKING AT THE FOUNTAIN by ROBERT HERRICK THE NYMPH COMPLAINING FOR THE DEATH OF HER FAUN [OR, FAWN] by ANDREW MARVELL OVERHEARD ON A SALTMARSH by HAROLD MONRO HYMN TO CONTENT by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD SIR RUPERT THE FEARLESS; A LEGEND OF GERMANY by RICHARD HARRIS BARHAM WOOD WITCHERY by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON |
