THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD: TRANSLATION, by CAIUS PEDO ALBINOVANUS First Line: The plants and trees made poor and old Last Line: Do promise nature's help in vain. | |||
The plants and trees made poor and old By winter envious, The springtime bounteous Covers again from shame and cold; But never man repaired again His youth and beauty lost, Though art, and care, and cost Do promise nature's help in vain. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FACE ON THE [BAR-ROOM] FLOOR by HUGH ANTOINE D'ARCY ON LAYING THE CORNER-STONE OF THE BUNKER HILL MOMUMENT by JOHN PIERPONT ON A LADY WHO FANCIED HERSELF A BEAUTY by CHARLES SACKVILLE (1637-1706) POPPY: FANTASTIC EXTRAVAGANCE by FRANCIS THOMPSON THE BALLAD OF BAZILE BORGNE: L'ENVOI by IDA COLE BARTLATT TRANSPORT UP AT YPRES by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN TOY DAY by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE |
