SONG, by HELEN MARIA WILLIAMS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Ah, evan, by thy winding stream Last Line: Where evan meets the clyde! | |||
Ah, Evan, by thy winding stream How once I lov'd to stray, And view the morning's reddening beam, Or charm of closing day! To yon dear grot by Evan's side, How oft my steps were led, Where far beneath the waters glide, And thick the woods are spread! But I no more a charm can see In Evan's lovely glades; And drear and desolate to me Are those enchanting shades. While far -- how far from Evan's bowers, My wandering lover flies; Where dark the angry tempest lowers, And high the billows rise! And O, where'er the wanderer goes, Is that poor mourner dear, Who gives, while soft the Evan flows, Each passing wave a tear! And does he now that grotto view? On those steep banks still gaze? In fancy does he still pursue The Evan's lovely maze? O come! repass the stormy wave, O toil for gold no more! Our love a dearer pleasure gave On Evan's peaceful shore. Leave not my breaking heart to mourn The joys so long denied; Ah, soon to those green banks return, Where Evan meets the Clyde! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONNET TO THE MOON by HELEN MARIA WILLIAMS A FAREWELL, FOR TWO YEARS, TO ENGLAND; A POEM, SELECTION by HELEN MARIA WILLIAMS A SONG by HELEN MARIA WILLIAMS AN EPISTLE TO DR.
