THORP GREEN, by BRANWELL BRONTE Poem Explanation First Line: I sit, this evening, far away Last Line: With thy sweet word 'remember'! | |||
I sit, this evening, far away, From all I used to know, And nought reminds my soul to-day Of happy long ago. Unwelcome cares, unthought-of fears, Around my room arise; I seek for suns of former years But clouds o'ercast my skies. Yes--Memory, wherefore does thy voice Bring old times back to view, As thou wouldst bid me not rejoice In thoughts and prospects new? I'll thank thee, Memory, in the hour When troubled thoughts are mine-- For thou, like suns in April's shower, On shadowy scenes wilt shine. I'll thank thee when approaching death Would quench life's feeble ember, For thou wouldst even renew my breath With thy sweet word 'Remember'! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MY DEARLING by ELIZABETH AKERS ALLEN SNOWBOUND by JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER TO THE SKYLARK by BERNARD BARTON UMBRAE PUELLULARUM by WILLIAM ROSE BENET PRINCE ARTHUR: THE CRYSTAL PALACES by RICHARD BLACKMORE SEA VOICES by WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE LAND, HO! by THOMAS EDWARD BROWN A WALTZ THOUGHT by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON |
