Love Songs in Age by Philip Larkin.

Part 1 of 2.

She kept

her songs, they took so little space,
The covers pleased her:
One bleached from lying in a sunny place,
One marked in circles by a vase of water,
One mended, when a tidy fit had seized her,
And coloured, by her daughter –
So they had waited, till in widowhood
She found them, looking for something else, and stood

Relearning how each frank submissive chord
Had ushered in
Word after sprawling hyphenated word,
And the unfailing sense of being young
Spread out like a spring-woken tree, wherein
That hidden freshness sung,
That certainty of time laid up in store
As when she played them first. But, even more,

    There are some words that are difficult. Do they utilize on daily speech or it is in use just on poetry?

    @Aysel They are pretty normal overall I think. Widowhood seems the only slightly obscure word here but even that is not very obscure.
