AVE ATQUE VALE; TO H.B.S., by AUSTIN PHILIPS First Line: We were three men Last Line: We are three men. Subject(s): Friendship; Men | ||||||||
WE were three men, Careless and free Under God's sun: Then we were one That had been three. Ye were two men, That had been three, That had been one: For one was gone: Ye were two men. You are one man, That have been three, That have been one: For two are gone. You are one man. We are three men; Three men we be; Once we were one, But that is done. We are three men. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LIE DOWN WITH A MAN by TONY HOAGLAND WHY ARE YOUNG MEN SO UGLY by TONY HOAGLAND SONG OF MEN by EDGAR LEE MASTERS FIRST LESSON by PHYLLIS MCGINLEY A BALLADE OF GREEN FIELDS; FOR F.W.M. by AUSTIN PHILIPS |
