RETROSPECT by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: LOVE'S KISSES SPURNED SO LONG AGO
Last Line: WOULD I MIGHT GIVE—FOR MEMORIES.
Subject(s): MEMORY;

Love's kisses spurned so long ago,
Dead as the years, that o'er them flow;—
And now, my gilded treasuries
Would I might give—for memories.
