FROM ALFRED DE MUSSET, by FREDERICK WILLIAM HENRY MYERS Poet's Biography First Line: I have lost my life, I have lost my strength Last Line: The memory of tears. Alternate Author Name(s): Myers, Frederic Subject(s): Musset, Alfred De (1810-1857) | |||
I HAVE lost my life, I have lost my strength And joy, and hope that lingered long, And, losing all, have lost at length The spirit and the pride of song. How quickly spent a man's desire Falls from the mistress of his youth! And so I loved, and so I tire Of my last mistress, ay, of Truth. And yet she is immortal; they Who, ere they know her, pass away, Have wasted foolish years: My God, Thy creature answers Thee; One only good remains with me,— The memory of tears. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BYWAY IN BIOGRAPHY by MAURICE EVAN HARE ALFRED DE MUSSET / USED TO CALL HIS CAT 'PUSSE' by UNKNOWN ON A GRAVE AT GRINDELWALD by FREDERICK WILLIAM HENRY MYERS SAINT PAUL: 1 by FREDERICK WILLIAM HENRY MYERS SIMMENTHAL by FREDERICK WILLIAM HENRY MYERS I AM TIRED OF ALL THE YEARS CAN GIVE by FREDERICK WILLIAM HENRY MYERS I KNEW A MAN IN EARLY DAYS by FREDERICK WILLIAM HENRY MYERS I SAW, I SAW THE LOVELY CHILD by FREDERICK WILLIAM HENRY MYERS I WAILED AS ONE WHO SCARCE CAN BE FORGIVEN by FREDERICK WILLIAM HENRY MYERS IN DREAMS THE HEART IS WAKING by FREDERICK WILLIAM HENRY MYERS IN THAT STILL HOME by FREDERICK WILLIAM HENRY MYERS LET EACH ALONE WITH TIMELY THOUGHT by FREDERICK WILLIAM HENRY MYERS |
