Today I have been happy. All the day I held the memory of you, and wove Its laughter with the dancing light o' the spray, And sowed the sky with tiny clouds of love, And sent you following the white waves of sea, And crowned your head with fancies, nothing worth, Stray buds from that old dust of misery, Being glad with a new foolish quiet mirth. So lightly I played with those dark memories, Just as a child, beneath the summer skies, Plays hourned to a little bitter mould. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS by HENRY GLASSFORD BELL ANSWER TO A CHILD'S QUESTION by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE THE SONG OF HIAWATHA: THE FOUR WINDS by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW TO BE CARVED ON A STONE AT THOOR BALLYLEE (1) by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS THE BRITISH PHILIPPIC by MARK AKENSIDE A STREET SKETCH by JOSEPH ASHBY-STERRY |
