AIRS SUNG AT BROUGHAM CASTLE: THE KINGS GOOD NIGHT, by THOMAS CAMPION Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Welcome, welcome, king of guests Last Line: And so, best king, good rest. Subject(s): Homecoming | ||||||||
Welcome, welcome, king' of guests, With thy princely train, With joyful triumphs and with feasts Be welcomed home again. Frolic mirth, The soul of earth, Shall watch for thy delight: Knees shall bend From friend to friend While full cups do thee right And so, great King, good-night. Welcome, welcome as the sun When the night is past: With us the day is now begun: May it for ever last. Such a morn Did ne'er adorn The roses of the East As the North Hath now brought forth: The Northern morn is best; And so, best King, good rest. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...COMING HOME AT TWILIGHT IN LATE SUMMER by JANE KENYON THE NEGATIVES by PHILIP LEVINE THE WATER'S CHANT by PHILIP LEVINE THE EXILE'S RETURN by ROBERT LOWELL THE RETURN by EDGAR LEE MASTERS TAKING THE TRAIN HOME by WILLIAM MATTHEWS I SHALL RETURN by CLAUDE MCKAY A BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 9 by THOMAS CAMPION |
