OTHERS WILL COME, by FRANCIS VIELE-GRIFFIN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Others will come across the plain Last Line: Poured your sweetness into song. Subject(s): Love; Smiles | |||
OTHERS will come across the plain Near you beside the gate to sit, And you will smile at all your train Of lovers, young and exquisite. They will follow, follow, fleet Your spring-time and its radiant glow -- Why so very swift their feet? I was twenty once . . . I know. All your smiles are now their own, All your magic youth and strong . . . What matter they?
