Lost
Charles Sorley
1895 to 1915
Across my past imaginings
Has dropped a blindness silent and slow.
My eye is bent on other things
Than those it once did see and know.
I may not think on those dear lands
(O far away and long ago!)
Where the old battered signpost stands
And silently the four roads go
East, west, south and north,
And the cold winter winds do blow.
And what the evening will bring forth
Is not for me nor you to know.
Charles Sorley's Lost
I am busy working to bring Charles Sorley's "Lost" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Charles Sorley's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Lost" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
