YES holy be thy resting place Wherever thou mayst lie The sweetest winds breath on thy face The softest of the sky Kind dreams and thoughts of love Though I no more may watchful bend Thy loved repose above And will not heaven itself bestow A beam of glory there That summers grass more green may grow And summers flowers more fair Farewell farewell tis hard to part Yet loved one it must be I would not rend another heart Not even with blessing thee Go we must break affections chain Forget the hopes of years Nay grieve not wouldst thou remain To waken wilder tears | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IKON: THE HARROWING OF HELL by DENISE LEVERTOV LEEK STREET by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR UNABLE TO FIND by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR THE AFTERLIFE: LETTER TO STEPHEN DOBYNS 3 by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE AFTERLIFE: LETTER TO STEPHEN DOBYNS: 1 by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE AFTERLIFE: LETTER TO STEPHEN DOBYNS: 2 by HAYDEN CARRUTH WRITING IN THE AFTERLIFE by BILLY COLLINS A DAY DREAM by EMILY JANE BRONTE |
