LAST THOUGHTS by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES

Poet Analysis

First Line: IF MY LAST THOUGHTS CONTAIN NO WISH
Last Line: UNTIL I THINK OF YOU!
Subject(s): LOVE; THOUGHT; THINKING;

If my last thoughts contain no wish
To feed the wild birds here;
If I forget to pity you,
And show no mark of care;
If I forget your kindness, love, And hasten to my grave:
Then, false to all that made life sweet,
What good shall I deserve?
Then, though I see Heaven close at hand,
And hear the music too,
May twenty devils seize my soul —
Until I think of you!
