AT ONE AGAIN: 7. FATHERS, by JEAN INGELOW Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: Move through the bowering hops, o lovers, --
Last Line: Let the matters rest between us -- rest
Subject(s): Fathers
First Line: Move through the bowering hops, o lovers, --
Last Line: Let the matters rest between us -- rest
Subject(s): Fathers
Move through the bowering hops, O lovers, -
Wander down to the golden West, -
But two stand mute in the shade that covers
Your love and youth from their souls opprest.
A little shame on their spirits stealing, -
A little pride that is loth to sue, -
A little struggle with soften'd feeling, -
And a world of fatherly care for you.
One says: "To this same running water,
May be, Neighbor, your claim is best."
And one - "Your son has kissed my daughter:
Let the matters between us - rest."
