Classic and Contemporary Poetry


TO THE COUNTESS OF BLESSINGTON by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR

Poet Analysis

First Line: SINCE IN THE TERRACE-BOWER WE SATE
Last Line: RUN EVER SWIFTEST BY!

Since in the terrace-bower we sate
While Arno gleam'd below,
And over sylvan Massa late
Hung Cynthia's slender bow,
Years after years have past away
Less light and gladsome; why
Do those we most implore to stay
Run ever swiftest by!
