AN EPITAPH, by GEORGE JOHN CAYLEY First Line: A lovely young lady I mourn in my rhymes Last Line: She waltzed rather well -- it's a pity she's dead.' | |||
A LOVELY young lady I mourn in my rhymes. She was pleasant, good-natured, and civil (sometimes), Her figure was good, she had very fine eyes, And her talk was a mixture of foolish and wise. Her adorers were many, and one of them said, 'She waltzed rather well -- it's a pity she's dead.' | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SOLDIER by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON VANQUISHED; ON THE DEATH OF GENERAL GRANT by FRANCIS FISHER BROWNE TO THE SHIP OF STATE by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS TO HAFIZ by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH ENGLISH ENCOURAGEMENT OF ART (FIRST READING) by WILLIAM BLAKE THE FORSAKEN MAID by RICHARD BROME |
