"Body o' mine — and must I lay thee low? So long I have looked out from the deaz eye! Ears that have brought me song, and willing hands, And feet that carried me to pleasant fields — Shall dust claim all, and must I say good-bye? Godspeed!" "Sister o' mine — I go from whence I came, Perchance to bloom again, or if required, When time is ripe, to house another soul. Thou art more wise than I, yet recketh not, Oh, soul o' mine, that I at last am tired! Godspeed!" | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AMERICA TO GREAT BRITAIN by WASHINGTON ALLSTON JOHN MOULDY by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE MARY'S LAMB by SARAH JOSEPHA BUELL HALE EBB by EDNA ST.
