WHEN Love and Beauty wander away, And there's no more hearts to be sought and won, When the old earth limps thro' the dreary day, And the work of the Seasons cry undone: Ah! what shall we do for a song to sing, Who have known Beauty, and Love, and Spring? When Love and Beauty wander away, And a pale fear lies on the cheeks of youth, When there's no more goal to strive for and pray, And we live at the end of the world's untruth: Ah! what shall we do for a heart to prove, Who have known Beauty, and Spring, and Love? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ROSE AND MURRAY by CONRAD AIKEN THOUGH WE NO LONGER POSSESS IT by MARK JARMAN THE GLORY OF THE DAY WAS IN HER FACE by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON LOVE COME AND GONE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 33 by JAMES JOYCE A SCOTCH SONG by JOANNA BAILLIE EVENING CLOUDS by FRANCIS LEDWIDGE |
