Analysis of Still I Vanish



So to vanish so far away;
A thought too proud to stay,
Can I explore or am I apt to forget
What I know or haven't I yet

With a mind no one can find?
Still I vanish too far today,
To remember or forget to say
That one rose may yield the sorrow,
I may see or forget tomorrow.
