He smiled, "The lay Of Yen-Oey perished in his summer day, The lay Ni-Chan,6 the holiest, made, and wept For the young brother sage that earlier slept; The song thy lips forbore but sweet and low Thy clear lute uttered. Are the words not so? 'So soon asleep! Now must the coming years Weep ignorantly their loss they cannot know, And life miss ever what hath never been: We weep to-day, let theirs be sadder tears Who have not seen thee near as we have seen, Who shall but learn a hope died long ago.

Download or read book Augusta Webster Portraits and Other Poems written by Augusta Webster and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2000-03-02 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Augusta Webster was very widely praised in her own time—Christina Rossetti thought her “by far the most formidable” woman poet. Her work has again come into favour, so much so that Isobel Armstrong and her co-editors of the influential anthology, Nineteenth-Century Women Poets, declare that “there can be no doubt that Augusta Webster ranks as one of the great Victorian poets.” This collection is the first edition of Webster’s poems since 1895. It is a selection of her best work, emphasizing her powerful dramatic monologues and including a substantial number of her lyrics. With an introduction and background documents that highlight the distinctiveness of her work, this edition will help to re-establish Augusta Webster as a major figure of nineteenth-century English literature.
