Memory
January 13, 2016
When cast upon the bed in grief
From mourning some idea deceived,
Then easy flies the inward whim
To times untouched by agony.
And looking back, with faulty eye,
The grains of youth are magnified
In lustrous dunes; so here one weeps
And soft exclaims, “How once was life!”
All sugared cares and miseries
Each having met a remedy,
Called neat to line the homeward lanes
In flooding births of memory.
And never once, in fearing loss
Does one doubt authenticity.
