Analysis of If you have loved a brave story
Lesbia Harford 1891 (Brighton) – 1927 (Australia)
If you have loved a brave story
Tell it but rarely;
And, with due faith in its glory,
Render it barely.
Then must the listener, hearing
Your tale of wonder,
Let his own hoping and fearing
Tear him asunder.
