A poem by Walter De la Mare

Remembrance

________________________________________________
Title:     Remembrance
Author: Walter De la Mare [More Titles by De la Mare]

The sky was like a waterdrop
In shadow of a thorn,
Clear, tranquil, beautiful,
Dark, forlorn.

Lightning along its margin ran;
A rumour of the sea
Rose in profundity and sank
Into infinity.

Lofty and few the elms, the stars
In the vast boughs most bright;
I stood a dreamer in a dream
In the unstirring night.

Not wonder, worship, not even peace
Seemed in my heart to be:
Only the memory of one,
Of all most dead to me.




[The end]
Walter De la Mare's poem: Remembrance
