FORGOTTEN, by WILLIAM FOSTER ELLIOT First Line: The hills remember my songs Last Line: But they do not remember me. | |||
The hills remember my songs And sing them to each other. I know, for I have heard the wind Whistling the tunes As he came striding down across the plain. The hills remember my songs But they do not remember me. The stars know my songs. I have heard them singing Far into the summer's night, The hills, the winds And the outermost starlet All know the songs I sang But they do not remember me. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: GEORGE GRAY by EDGAR LEE MASTERS THE FLOOD OF YEARS by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT IN TENEBRIS: 2 by THOMAS HARDY THE BRACELET: TO JULIA by ROBERT HERRICK THE PROMETHEUS VINCTUS OF AESCHYLUS by AESCHYLUS |
