Let no one any sadness feel
It's just another day.
The sun arose this winter morn
And drubbed the night away.
The wind swirled round about the land
To rustle through the trees,
To bear the frosted ground a chill
And cause the earth to freeze.
Away, away, on yonder crag
Is where I used to tread;
And gazing round about the land
The music filled my head.
Where kestrels flew and hovered still,
Where curlews shrilled and smiled;
A booming bittern in the marsh
Would leave me quite beguiled.
The darkest night has called on me
And bid me close my eyes.
My weary heart is lying low
Upon this late sunrise.
Let no one any sadness feel,
This parting of the ways,
But celebrate this winter morn ~
My happiest of days.

Thank you L.B. I am pleased that you found my poem easy to read and follow. Good of you to call in and comment.

That's a great write Alan - I love the way it scans, rhymes and the references to Nature. Reminds me too of the Victorian poets and especially Thomas Hood's Remember, Remember - which is a favourite of mine.
Hi classicmister.
Thank you for your comments, which are much appreciated. Yes Thomas Hood. I once wrote a similar poem to 'I Remember, I Remember' though not copied it I hope. Mine was a think back to childhood and definitely inspired by T. Hood and also another of my favourite poets A. E. Housman. It was winner of a minor contest of the day though. I will post it here on MPS when I can find it.
Kind regards, Alan
