Warm Summer Sun Comments

It is amazing, the number of prose writers and novelists that have also writte oetry sometime in their ife. I wonder why. But am very glad to see in them this great poetic sensibility.

Powerfully and movingly penned from the heart

Warm summer sun, Shine kindly here, Warm southern wind, Blow softly here........ beautiful beginning. Thanks for sharing here.

A sad poem, Sounds like it's about his daughter. Might at her grave site. I'll research it.

A very heartwarming and lovely write. So mellifluous when read.

The poem has a nice soothing feel to it.

Green sod above, Lie light, lie light. Good night, dear heart, Good night, good night. a very fine poem. tony

Read the poem repeatedly after knowing that this is an epitaph on the tombstone of his beloved wife - so tender, so loving! Every word is chosen with heart-felt emotion. Thanks to Wahab Abdul for telling us the history behind this epitaph.

thanks mon for the support

They told me to write your name.

This should not be credited only to Mark Twain. He based it on a poem by Robert RIchardson titled Annette. On Twain's daughter's grave stone, the poem as written above was credited to Mr Richardson, although it was modified by Mr Twain.

I saw this recently as an inscription on someone's headstone in Mississippi.

it was so sweet and kind

Beautifully simple, a pretty hopeful, happy poem. I wonder the reason, the exact thing that happened, that compelled Twain to write such a good poem. Not the greatest poem out there by any means but nonetheless is a decent poem that any poet should be happy to have written.
