SO IT IS, by JOHN FREEMAN Poet's Biography First Line: So it is that men Last Line: Lies griefasleep. Subject(s): Humanity; Mankind; Human Race | ||||||||
SO it is that men Wake, strive and sleep. Sink gnawing in their hollow bosoms Starved passions, creep Endless the crushed immortal Fall'n memories that once rose Out of the deep. So it is that women Wake, love and weep Till the lost children of love Laugh, and the unborn leap Smiling upon their hollow bosoms. Sealed then in soundless cave Lies griefasleep. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HOW MUCH EARTH by PHILIP LEVINE THE SHEEP IN THE RUINS by ARCHIBALD MACLEISH THE CONQUERORS by PHYLLIS MCGINLEY THE MARMOZET by HILAIRE BELLOC MEN, WOMEN, AND EARTH by ROBERT BLY |
