RESIDUUM, by LEONORA CLAWSON STRYKER First Line: Had the year an april Last Line: Only dead leaves! | |||

My fingers caught her skirt -- Plucked at her sleeves: And yet my grasp retained Only dead leaves! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MESSAGE OF AN ANCIENT POET by LEONORA CLAWSON STRYKER EMPEDOCLES ON ETNA; A DRAMATIC POEM by MATTHEW ARNOLD THE WHITE CASCADE by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES THOSE EVENING BELLS by THOMAS MOORE NOVEMBER, 1806 by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH THIS IS NOT I by FRANCES DAVIS ADAMS A LULLABY by THOMALLY HOLBECH ANDERSON EPITAPH by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES THE FADELESS CANVAS by CHARLOTTE LOUISE BERTLESEN |
