ON THE DEATH OF A BEAUTIFUL GIRL, by ELIZA LEE CABOT FOLLEN Poet's Biography First Line: The young, the lovely pass away Last Line: They go to call us there. | |||
THE young, the lovely pass away, Ne'er to be seen again; Earth's fairest flowers too soon decay; Its blasted trees remain. Full oft we see the brightest thing That lifts its head on high, Smile in the light, then droop its wing, And fade away, and die. And kindly is the lesson given, Then dry the falling tear; They came to raise our hearts to heaven, They go to call us there. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LULLABY by ELIZA LEE CABOT FOLLEN THE LITTLE SPRING by ELIZA LEE CABOT FOLLEN TO MY AEOLIAN HARP, AS IT WAS PLAYING ON A COLD, STORMY DAY by ELIZA LEE CABOT FOLLEN WINTER SCENES IN THE COUNTRY by ELIZA LEE CABOT FOLLEN BRER RABBIT, YOU'S DE CUTES' OF 'EM ALL by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON THE SISTER'S TRAGEDY by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH THE OLD FLUTE by AUGUSTE ANGELLIER SUMMER SONG: 1 by GEORGE BARKER THE CHILD AN' THE MOWERS by WILLIAM BARNES |
