RESIDUUM, by LEONORA CLAWSON STRYKER First Line: Had the year an april Last Line: Only dead leaves! | |||
Had the year an April, Was there a June? How could they have vanished, So soon -- so soon! I waited patiently, Watched changing skies; And then the summer passed Before my eyes! My fingers caught her skirt -- Plucked at her sleeves: And yet my grasp retained Only dead leaves! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MESSAGE OF AN ANCIENT POET by LEONORA CLAWSON STRYKER BABY BELL by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH THE SECOND BROTHER; ACT 2, SCENE 1 by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES BALLADE OF MID-WINTER NIGHTS by CHARLOTTE LOUISE BERTLESEN HINC LACHRIMAE; OR THE AUTHOR TO AURORA: 44 by WILLIAM BOSWORTH LINES WRITTEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER PARTING FROM A LADY by SAMUEL EGERTON BRYDGES THE COUNTRY DOCTOR by WILLIAM MCKENDREE CARLETON |
