IN MEMORIAM G.D., by CHARLES WILLIAM BRODRIBB First Line: The church; the moving bier; the psalmist's span Last Line: His own and others' honour to his tent. Subject(s): Leadership; Memory | |||
The church; the moving bier; the Psalmist's span Used to the full! This was King Henry's man, Waynflete's and Chichele's pledge, once far from hence Blessed by the Southern Cross's influence. Bone of his Yorkshire's bone, none truer bred, The sportsman's temper and the statesman's head; Who bore like knight magnanimously spent His own and others' honour to his tent. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MEMORY AS A HEARING AID by TONY HOAGLAND THE SAME QUESTION by JOHN HOLLANDER FORGET HOW TO REMEMBER HOW TO FORGET by JOHN HOLLANDER ON THAT SIDE by LAWRENCE JOSEPH MEMORY OF A PORCH by DONALD JUSTICE BEYOND THE HUNTING WOODS by DONALD JUSTICE AMONG THE LAKES by CHARLES WILLIAM BRODRIBB AN EPITAPH (AFTER THE GREEK EPIGRAMS) by CHARLES WILLIAM BRODRIBB |
