WAR, by GRACE ELLERY CHANNING-STETSON First Line: The great republic goes to war Last Line: The great republic comes from war! Subject(s): War | ||||||||
THE great Republic goes to war, But spring still comes as spring has done, And all the summer months will run Their summer sequence as before; And every bird will build its nest, The sun sink daily in the west, And rising eastward bring new day In the old way. But ah, those dawns will have a light, Those western skies burn golden bright, With what a note the birds will sing, And winter's self be turned to spring Than any springtime sweeter far, When once again, calm entering, The great Republic comes from war! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...I AM YOUR WAITER TONIGHT AND MY NAME IS DIMITRI by ROBERT HASS MITRAILLIATRICE by ERNEST HEMINGWAY RIPARTO D'ASSALTO by ERNEST HEMINGWAY WAR VOYEURS by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA THE DREAM OF WAKING by RANDALL JARRELL THE SURVIVOR AMONG GRAVES by RANDALL JARRELL SO MANY BLOOD-LAKES by ROBINSON JEFFERS A SONG OF ARNO by GRACE ELLERY CHANNING-STETSON |
