IN SUMMER-TIME WHEN MARY BATHES, by HERBERT TRENCH Poet's Biography Last Line: The only day it has to live! Subject(s): Baths & B Athing; Summer | |||
In summer-time when Mary bathes And floats along as in a sky O might I be the stream that swathes Her beauty with infinity! O might I be that stealing song The brown bird sings her from above While in the dark wood, late and long, She listens, and forgets to love! Or else the rose, the rose that bends To Mary, all its soul to give, And on her dreamy bosom spends The only day it has to live! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE ADVANCE OF SUMMER by MARY KINZIE THE SUMMER IMAGE by LEONIE ADAMS CANOEBIAL BLISS by JOSEPH ASHBY-STERRY THE END OF SUMMER by HENRY MEADE BLAND THE FARMER'S BOY: SUMMER by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD SONNET: 14.
