TO HELEN KELLER, by MADGE BARTON FEURER First Line: You've had rhapsodic lyrics Last Line: "from me and america sent!"" . . . . . W. W." Subject(s): Keller, Helen (1880-1968); Poetry & Poets; Praise | ||||||||
You've had rhapsodic lyrics, And dull panegyrics, And of sonnets, you must be quite tired. You've had odes dithyrambic, Full of strophes iambic, And in meter, no doubt, you've been mired. You've had humor pedantic, And lines almost frantic, From the kindly-intentioned to you, But all forms of spondaic, Anapestic, trochaic, Are not equal to Whitman's "home brew". So -- "Health to you! Good will to you! From me and America sent!" . . . . . W.
