BAUCIS, by ERINNA First Line: Ye columns and my sirens, and thou funereal jar Last Line: Erinna; she was always at my side. | |||
YE Columns and my Sirens, and thou funereal jar Holding the little ash that now is I, To all who pass give greeting, no matter if they are My countrymen or from another sky: 'My father called me Baucis', say: say 'Telos was my home.' And tell them I was buried here, a bride, That all may know: and name the friend who thus inscribed my tomb, Erinna; she was always at my side. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...INDIAN SUMMER by SARA TEASDALE THE COMING OF SPRING by NORA PERRY TO SCIENCE; SONNET by EDGAR ALLAN POE LUCY (1) by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH AUTUMN MALADE by GUILLAUME APOLLINAIRE SONG OF SOLOMON: AWAKE by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE HINC LACHRIMAE; OR THE AUTHOR TO AURORA: 29 by WILLIAM BOSWORTH |
