Alfred Lord Tennyson: Song ("Who can say")

Updated February 28, 2017 | Infoplease Staff

Song

Who can say
Why To-day
To-morrow will be yesterday?
Who can tell
Why to smell
The violet, recalls the dewy prime
Of youth and buried time?
The cause is nowhere found in rhyme.

Brewer's: Rosalind

Poems, 1833
