TO LADY ANNE HAMILTON, by WILLIAM ROBERT SPENCER Poet's Biography First Line: Too late I stayed - forgive the crime Last Line: Their plumage to his wings? Variant Title(s): Too Late I Stayed Subject(s): Friendship | |||
Too late I stayed, -- forgive the crime! Unheeded flew the hours: How noiseless falls the foot of Time That only treads on flowers! And who, with clear account, remarks The ebbings of this glass, When all its sands are diamond sparks, That dazzle as they pass? O, who to sober measurement Time's happy swiftness brings, When birds of paradise have lent Their plumage to his wings? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...YOU & I BELONG IN THIS KITCHEN by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA JASON THE REAL by TONY HOAGLAND NO RESURRECTION by ROBINSON JEFFERS CHAMBER MUSIC: 17 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 18 by JAMES JOYCE THE STONE TABLE by GALWAY KINNELL ALMSWOMAN by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN TO AN ENEMY by MAXWELL BODENHEIM SONNET: 10.
