I HAVE asked, and you have answered: -- Be the cunning work fulfilled, Be the soul that's tried by fire Tender-hearted, warrior-willed. Steel for strength and gold for beauty, So shall be the heart you hold; As a sword of keenest metal Yet may have its hilt of gold. Fan your furnace, hotter, hotter, Till you win the weapon true; Golden to your touch, my dearest, Steel, to meet your foes for you. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WORD OF AN ENGINEER by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON SMOKE AND STEEL by CARL SANDBURG MY FATHER'S GARDEN by DAVID WAGONER PRAYERS OF STEEL by CARL SANDBURG STEEL MILL by LOUIS UNTERMEYER STEEL OR GOLD?; THE QUESTION by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON ROSES IN THE SUBWAY by DANA BURNET SUBWAY TRACK-WALKERS by DANA BURNET EGOISME A DEUX' by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON |
