THORP GREEN, by BRANWELL BRONTE Poem Explanation First Line: I sit, this evening, far away Last Line: With thy sweet word 'remember'! | |||
I sit, this evening, far away, From all I used to know, And nought reminds my soul to-day Of happy long ago. Unwelcome cares, unthought-of fears, Around my room arise; I seek for suns of former years But clouds o'ercast my skies. Yes--Memory, wherefore does thy voice Bring old times back to view, As thou wouldst bid me not rejoice In thoughts and prospects new? I'll thank thee, Memory, in the hour When troubled thoughts are mine-- For thou, like suns in April's shower, On shadowy scenes wilt shine. I'll thank thee when approaching death Would quench life's feeble ember, For thou wouldst even renew my breath With thy sweet word 'Remember'! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WIND AT THE DOOR by WILLIAM BARNES GONE by MARY ELIZABETH COLERIDGE EXCELLENCY OF CHRIST by GILES FLETCHER THE YOUNGER THE ELF AND THE DORMOUSE by OLIVER BROOK HERFORD CLEOPATRA by WILLIAM WETMORE STORY CELEBRATION ODE by LYMAN WHITNEY ALLEN A NEW PILGRIMAGE: 31 by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT |
