Poem of the Day 22 February 2024

Walter Savage Landor. 1775-1864

Absence

HERE, ever since you went abroad,   If there be change no change I see: I only walk our wonted road,   The road is only walk'd by me.

Yes; I forgot; a change there is—   Was it of that you bade me tell? I catch at times, at times I miss   The sight, the tone, I know so well.

Only two months since you stood here?   Two shortest months? Then tell me why Voices are harsher than they were,   And tears are longer ere they dry.

Last Lines

Death stands above me, whispering low I know not what into my ear; Of his strange language all I know Is, there is not a word of fear.

A poem by Walter Savage Landor

Child of a Day

Child of a day, thou knowest not  The tears that overflow thy urn,  The gushing eyes that read thy lot,  Nor, if thou knewest, couldst return! 

And why the wish! the pure and blest  Watch like thy mother o'er thy sleep.  O peaceful night! O envied rest!  Thou wilt not ever see her weep. 

Walter Savage Landor (1775-1864)

Nature I loved, and, next to nature, art

This gunmetal-blue ladybug was introduced into Hawaii in a successful attempt to control an insect pest called the spiraling whitefly.

Poem of the Day 16 March 2023

You Smiled, You Spoke, and I Believed BY WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR

You smiled, you spoke, and I believed, By every word and smile deceived. Another man would hope no more; Nor hope I what I hoped before: But let not this last wish be vain; Deceive, deceive me once again!
