ABSENCE, by ALEXANDER LOUIS FRASER First Line: By a cottage with ivy o'er growing Last Line: Beside thee swingeth thy mate. Subject(s): Absence; Separation; Isolation | |||
By a cottage with ivy o'er growing Where opens a garden gate, For me, or coming or going, An angel face would wait. To-day the same brook gleameth Beneath our old willow tree, But, ah! how strange it seemeth That no one welcometh me! Blithe bird, sing there, in thy gladness, So happy in thine estate, Thou canst not know my sadness— Beside thee swingeth thy mate. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE EVENING OF THE MIND by DONALD JUSTICE CHRISTMAS AWAY FROM HOME by JANE KENYON THE PROBLEM by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES WHEN A WOMAN LOVES A MAN by DAVID LEHMAN THIS UNMENTIONABLE FEELING by DAVID LEHMAN A CHILD'S GRAVE by ALEXANDER LOUIS FRASER |
