EPILOGUE by SAMUEL FOSTER DAMON

First Line: SOMETIMES I THINK THAT I SHALL LIVE AGAIN
Last Line: I SHALL RETURN MY OWN BOOK TO ITS SHELF.
Subject(s): BOOKS; READING;
Sometimes I think that I shall live again;
And chancing on these records of my times,
I'll wonder dimly at the hidden pain
Faded to quaintness in my early rhymes.

And then, maybe, I shall be vaguely pleased
To feel again the torture of myself;
And by the ancient anguish gently eased,
I shall return my own book to its shelf.
