SONS, by ISABELLA BRYANS LONGFELLOW First Line: She did not love one son the more Last Line: In whom her love was satisfied. Subject(s): Sons | ||||||||
She did not love one son the more For that he climbed the steps to fame, And placed a green, perennial wreath Above her name. She loved as much the other one Who could not rise above the rest, And who had need of her and love, And she was blest In two fine sons she always said, And hung their pictures side by side -- A nation's favored, and the one In whom her love was satisfied. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LATEST INJURY by SHARON OLDS PRAYER DURING A TIME MY SON IS HAVING SEIZURES by SHARON OLDS TWO SONGS OF PEACE: 1 by YEHUDA AMICHAI THE SMALLISH SON by HAYDEN CARRUTH SARAH'S PROMISE by LUCILLE CLIFTON ANY MAN'S ADVICE TO HIS SON by KENNETH FEARING THE RIGHTFUL ONE by DAVID IGNATOW THE ANSWER by ISABELLA BRYANS LONGFELLOW |
