OCTAVES IN AN OXFORD GARDEN: 5, by ARTHUR W. UPSON Poet's Biography First Line: As here among the well-remembering boughs Last Line: Glowing, the light of memory on her brows. Subject(s): Memory; Oxford, England | ||||||||
As here among the well-remembering boughs Where every leaf is tongue to ancient breath, Speech of the yesteryears forgathereth, And all the winds are long-fulfillèd vows So from of old those ringing names arouse A whispering in the foliate shades of death Where History her golden rosary saith, Glowing, the light of Memory on her brows. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DUNS SCOTUS'S OXFORD by GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS OXFORD IN WAR-TIME by LAURENCE BINYON OXFORD CANAL by JAMES ELROY FLECKER ON THE PRE-REFORMATION CHURCHES ABOUT OXFORD by LOUISE IMOGEN GUINEY ODE TO THE LATE LORD MAYOR, ON PUBLICATION OF HIS 'VISIT TO OXFORD' by THOMAS HOOD BRUSSELS AND OXFORD by WILLIAM HURRELL MALLOCK OXFORD BELLS by SISTER MARIS STELLA SCENE FROM A PLAY CALLED 'MATRICULATION' by THOMAS MOORE A MOTIVE OUT OF LOHENGRIN by ARTHUR W.
