AN APRIL GHOST by LIZETTE WOODWORTH REESE

Poet Analysis

First Line: ALL THE GHOSTS I EVER KNEW
Last Line: YOU ARE LEFT, YOU ONLY.
Subject(s): GHOSTS; SPRING; SUPERNATURAL;
ALL the ghosts I ever knew,
White, and thinly calling,
Come into the house with you,
When the dew is falling.
All of youth that ever died,
In the Springtime weather,
In the windy April tide,
Climb the dusk together.
For a moment, lad and maid
Stand up there all lonely;
In a moment fade and fade --
You are left, you only.
