HAPPY ENGLAND, by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Now each man's mind all europe is Last Line: Had given its all for these! Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter | ||||||||
Now each man's mind all Europe is: Boding and fear in dread array Daze every heart: O grave and wise, Abide in hope the judgment day. This war of millions in arms In myriad replica we wage; Unmoved, then, Soul, by earth's alarms The dangers of the dark engage. Remember happy England: keep For her bright cause thy latest breath; Her peace that long hath lulled to sleep, May now exact the sleep of death. Her woods and wilds, her loveliness, With harvest now are richly at rest; Safe in her isled securities, Thy children's heaven is her breast. O what a deep contented night The sun from out her Eastern seas Would bring the dust which in her sight Had given its all for these! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ALONE (2) by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE AN EPITAPH by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ARABIA by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE BUNCHES OF GRAPES by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ECHO by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ENGLAND (2) by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE FARE WELL by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE FIVE EYES by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE JOHN MOULDY by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE MOTLEY by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE |
