QUOTATION FROM FAUST, by LETITIA STOCKETT First Line: I would not alter even a leaf Last Line: Sun on snow. | |||
I would not alter even a leaf In this green lane, Nor build the broken wall again. The tower, like those in Lyonesse, The bells, should be Dreaming in water everlastingly. Nor from the sky should ever fade That fiery bar; I would not lose a single star. And you forever I would keep But well I know There is no keeping -- Blossom on bough, Sun on snow. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SWANS AT WELLS by LETITIA STOCKETT MR.
