After the War

We present this work in honor of the 50th anniversary of the poet’s death.

Mary Wedderburn Cannan
Scots
1893 – 1973

 

After the war perhaps I’ll sit again
Out on the terrace where I sat with you,
And see the changeless sky and hills beat blue
And live an afternoon of summer through.

I shall remember then, and sad at heart
For the lost day of happiness we knew,
Wish only that some other man were you
And spoke my name as once you used to do.
