YOUTH by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE DEW IS ON THE GRASSES, DEAR
Last Line: BUT NEVERMORE THE MAY!
Subject(s): YOUTH;
The dew is on the grasses, dear,
The blush is on the rose,
And swift across our dial-youth,
A shifting shadow goes.

The primrose moments, lush with bliss,
Exhale and fade away,
Life may renew the Autumn time,
But nevermore the May!
