Warm Summer Sun Poem by Mark Twain

Great! I love this poem so much. This is one of my all time favorite poems and favorite poets!

A particularly heart wrenching epitaph written by Mark Twain, on the tombstone of his wife, Olivia L. Langdon, whom he married in 1870. He was buried alongside her after his demise. All Twain is trying to do is say goodbye to his wife whom he loved dearly. He paints of beautiful picture of the calm scene. The entire poetry is written in a loving, peaceful tone with the most delicate use of adjectives and the kindest emotion. The poem epitomizes his attitude towards his wife and perfectly portrays the love he felt for her. Yet, there is not much sorrow shown. He's picked his words carefully to make sure she'd be remembered not with tears in peoples eyes, but with serene smiles. Towards the end, he wishes her farewell and bids adieu to his most loved companion.

A great write it is.And likes the poem.

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.
