REUNION (2) by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE

Poet Analysis

First Line: WHERE TWILIGHT BROODS O'ER ACHERON
Last Line: AGE TURN AGAIN TO THEE!

Where twilight broods o'er Acheron
A youthful face waits mine,
Care cannot make a whit more wan,
Or sorrow less divine.

By Styx, whose changeless asphodel
Blooms heavy with dew, is one
Who in his innocence keeps well
Our tryst till Time be done.

O eyes whose earthly light is hid,
Heart of my childhood be
Content to sleep, till Love have bid
Age turn again to thee!
