OTHERS may need new life in Heaven -- Man, nature, Art -- made new, assume! Man with new mind old sense to leaven, Nature, -- new light to clear old gloom, Art that breaks bounds, gets soaring-room. I shall pray: "Fugitive as precious -- Minutes which passed, -- return, remain! Let earth's old life once more enmesh us, You with old pleasure, me -- old pain, So we but meet nor part again!" | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FROM THE SPANISH by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON CHAMBER MUSIC: 17 by JAMES JOYCE SOUTHERN GOTHIC by DONALD JUSTICE THE BEACH IN AUGUST by WELDON KEES THE MAN SPLITTING WOOD IN THE DAYBREAK by GALWAY KINNELL THE SEEKONK WOODS by GALWAY KINNELL CHILDE ROLAND TO THE DARK TOWER CAME' by ROBERT BROWNING |
