MEMORY by ANNA BUNSTON DE BARY

First Line: DEAR AS THE BRIEF OCTOBER SUN
Last Line: MORE SALT THAN ALL THE SEAS OF DEATH IS MEMORY.
Subject(s): MEMORY;

DEAR as the brief October sun,
Or red fruit on the sombre yew,
Or robin's song when summer's done, Is Memory.

Sharper than frost's two-edgéd breath,
Or any wind that ever blew,
More salt than all the Seas of Death Is Memory.
