TO ENGLAND IN HER SORROW, by ELIZABETH TOUSEY First Line: I wear a quiet garb today Last Line: With love's memorial flower. Subject(s): England; Mourning; English; Bereavement | |||
I wear a quiet garb today, Because a King is dead. My thoughts are very far away, With English hearts that mourn and pray Beside their silent Head. Ancestral land profoundly dear In this bereaving hour, We, too, would shed the kindred tear, We, too, would deck the monarch's bier With love's memorial flower. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HUNGERFIELD by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE MOURNER by LOUISE MOREY BOWMAN HECUBA MOURNS by MARILYN NELSON THERE IS NO GOD BUT by AGHA SHAHID ALI IF I COULD MOURN LIKE A MOURNING DOVE by FRANK BIDART HEROIC MAIDEN by ELIZABETH TOUSEY |
