DIRGE, by CHARLES GAMAGE EASTMAN First Line: Softly! / she is lying Last Line: She to heaven has passed. | |||
SOFTLY! She is lying With her lips apart; Softly! She is dying Of a broken heart. Whisper! Life is growing Dim within her breast; Whisper! She is going To her final rest. Gently! She is sleeping, She has breathed her last! Gently! While you're weeping She to heaven has passed. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EVENING IN SUMMER by CHARLES GAMAGE EASTMAN OF LOVE AND WINE by CHARLES GAMAGE EASTMAN THE AFTERNOON NAP by CHARLES GAMAGE EASTMAN I WOULD LIVE IN YOUR LOVE by SARA TEASDALE WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? by PAUL VERLAINE THE MASK by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING FOUND WANTING by EMILY DICKINSON VILLANELLE, WITH STEVENSON'S ASSISTANCE by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS BALLADE OF THE FOREST HAUNTERS by THEODORE FAULLAIN DE BANVILLE THE COMPLAINT by JOSEPH BEAUMONT |
