YOU MAY REMEMBER, by LULU PIPER AIKEN First Line: Heart, be still of your constant agitation! Last Line: But only now, a moment, may you hear. | |||
Heart, be still of your constant agitation! Sorrow may pass on swift though fragile wings; Put joy, the while you may, upon probation, And listen, oh listen! -- a wood thrush sings. Be quiet, heart! Nights are long in December, When there are empty silences and drear; In many an hour then you may remember, But only now, a moment, may you hear. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BALLADE AGAINST THE ENEMIES OF FRANCE by FRANCOIS VILLON MORTAL COMBAT by MARY ELIZABETH COLERIDGE SACRIFICE by RALPH WALDO EMERSON SPANIARDS' GRAVES AT THE ISLES OF SHOALS by CELIA LEIGHTON THAXTER TO S.M., A YOUNG AFRICAN PAINTER, ON SEEING HIS WORKS by PHILLIS WHEATLEY SONNETS OF MANHOOD: 44.
