[Ah, not in vain]
Ah, not in vain
I see again
The roses ruined of the rain:
I see again
The roses ruined of the rain:
241
And in the mist
The amethyst
Of morning-glories wet and whist:
The amethyst
Of morning-glories wet and whist:
The moonflower bent
And torn and rent
That yestereve was redolent.
And torn and rent
That yestereve was redolent.
Back to my heart
They bring the smart
Of thoughts from which I can not part.
They bring the smart
Of thoughts from which I can not part.
Analogies
Of memories
That fall like rain on autumn leas.
Of memories
That fall like rain on autumn leas.
Sad memories all,
Like rain, that fall
On joy, a rose wrecked by the wall.
Like rain, that fall
On joy, a rose wrecked by the wall.
