Time & Brevity
The Comet at Yalbury or Yell’ham
From Poems of the Past and the Present
Time & Brevity
I
IT bends far over Yell’ham Plain,
And we, from Yell’ham Height,
Stand and regard its fiery train,
So soon to swim from sight.
II
It will return long years hence, when
As now its strange swift shine
Will fall on Yell’ham; but not then
On that sweet form of thine.
