HAVEN, by HAROLD TROWBRIDGE PULSIFER Poet's Biography First Line: Give me to rest in a quiet town Last Line: To share the light in sea men's eyes! | |||
Give me to rest in a quiet town Built by old rovers of the sea, Where they have come to lay them down Sure of their spirits' mastery. On shaded streets along the sands Are white-walled homes where strong men dwell, And the presence of far-off lands Born of the sounding harbor bell. There is the peace of tasks well done, Of faith true kept with high emprise. This I ask when my race be run, -- To share the light in sea men's eyes! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GHOSTS by HAROLD TROWBRIDGE PULSIFER PEACE by HAROLD TROWBRIDGE PULSIFER THE DUEL by HAROLD TROWBRIDGE PULSIFER THE HARVEST OF TIME by HAROLD TROWBRIDGE PULSIFER THE SHADOW OF SILENCE by HAROLD TROWBRIDGE PULSIFER THE WATERS OF BETHESDA by HAROLD TROWBRIDGE PULSIFER THOUGHTS UPON A WALK WITH NATALIE, MY NIECE by HAROLD TROWBRIDGE PULSIFER TO A SCHOOLMATE-KILLED IN ACTION by HAROLD TROWBRIDGE PULSIFER WILD BIRD by HAROLD TROWBRIDGE PULSIFER EVENTIDE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON |
