A poem by William Lisle Bowles
My Father's Grave
________________________________________________ Title: My Father's Grave Author: William Lisle Bowles [More Titles by Bowles] My father's grave, I heard her say, And marked a stealing tear; Oh, no! I would not go away, My father's grave is here! A thousand thronging sympathies The lonely spot endear, And every eve remembrance sighs, My father's grave is here! Some sudden tears unbidden start, As spring's gay birds I hear, For all things whisper to my heart, My father's grave is here! Young hope may blend each colour gay, And fairer views appear; But, no! I will not go away, My father's grave is here! [The end] William Lisle Bowles's poem: My Father's Grave ________________________________________________ GO TO TOP OF SCREEN
