COME WITH ME, by JOHN LEE HIGGINS Poet's Biography
First Line: Come wander down the white edge of the world
Last Line: Some time when weary we may wander home.
First Line: Come wander down the white edge of the world
Last Line: Some time when weary we may wander home.
Come wander down the white edge of the world
To tropic swarms that kindle in the heat
Or where Norwegian promontories, pearled
Splinter the seas that menace and retreat.
Oh, come where bergs drift ghostly and austere
Like white cathedrals beautiful and cold
The glacier spawn that tops the hemisphere,
Their pinnacles in prisms of sun-gold
Or wander with me to an island where
The smoking mountains blaze into the mere
Of sapphire domes Romance unwreathes her hair,
And moon-white beaches lie against the wave.
Oh, come with me beyond the farthest foam:
Some time when weary we may wander home.
