CLASSIC NIGHT, by BENJAMIN ROSENBAUM First Line: This classic night was made for men Last Line: Like dante. . . | |||
THIS classic night was made for men Like Dante. This awful silence beats More bronze to epic thoughts than weak, Glad men can hear. The cold moon heats Strong hearts and sends big hands to cut A beauty from a starless sky Of grey. This night was made for men Who love to watch the Present die In bearing memories of great Eternal things. The shadowy lyre Of wind could rock the moon with song. Cold sky might blaze in words of fire. This classic night was made for men Like Dante. . . | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BROKEN LINES by BENJAMIN ROSENBAUM CAPUT MORTUUM by BENJAMIN ROSENBAUM CASTILIAN BODY by BENJAMIN ROSENBAUM CONVERSATION by BENJAMIN ROSENBAUM DAY PIECE by BENJAMIN ROSENBAUM DEAN SWIFT by BENJAMIN ROSENBAUM DEATH IS... by BENJAMIN ROSENBAUM DEFINITIONS by BENJAMIN ROSENBAUM |
