NATURE, by JAMES MARRIOTT Poet's Biography First Line: I ask not fortune's glittering charms Last Line: And haste, like human life, away. Alternate Author Name(s): Marriott, Sir Jame Subject(s): Nature | ||||||||
I ask not Fortune's glittering charms, The pride of courts, the spoils of arms; By silver stream and haunted grove, O give my peaceful steps to rove: Beneath the shade of pendent hills, I'll listen to the falling rills, That chase the pebble, as they stray; And haste, like human life, away. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...INTERRUPTED MEDITATION by ROBERT HASS TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: HOME by LYN HEJINIAN WRITING IS AN AID TO MEMORY: 17 by LYN HEJINIAN LET US GATHER IN A FLOURISHING WAY by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA IN MICHAEL ROBINS?ÇÖS CLASS MINUS ONE by HICOK.
