TO EDMUND GOSSE, by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: In darkening days, when old desires Last Line: Health, and continued power to please. Alternate Author Name(s): Dobson, Austin Subject(s): Gosse, Sir Edmund (1849-1928) | |||
IN darkening days, when old desires Die slowly down, like fading fires, What cheers us most is still the cry Of those who look for larger sky, And find, with every cloud withdrawn, Fresh promise of an ampler dawn. Your voice of yore was joined with these, I wish you therefore Hope and Ease, Health, and continued power to please. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AN ENTRY FOR EDMUND GOSSE'S LIBRARY CATALOGUE by JOHN DRINKWATER TO E.G.
