LAST POEMS: SONNET 5, by ALAN SEEGER Poet's Biography First Line: Seeing you have not come with me, nor spent Last Line: And be a power to cheer and fortify. Subject(s): Soldiers' Writings | ||||||||
Seeing you have not come with me, nor spent This day's suggestive beauty as we ought, I have gone forth alone and been content To make you mistress only of my thought. And I have blessed the fate that was so kind In my life's agitations to include This moment's refuge where my sense can find Refreshment, and my soul beatitude. Oh, be my gentle love a little while! Walk with me sometimes. Let me see you smile. Watching some night under a wintry sky, Before the charge, or on the bed of pain, These blessed memories shall revive again And be a power to cheer and fortify. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ODE IN MEMORY OF THE AMERICAN VOLUNTEERS FALLEN FOR FRANCE by ALAN SEEGER A MESSAGE TO AMERICA by ALAN SEEGER AN ODE TO ANTARES by ALAN SEEGER AN ODE TO NATURAL BEAUTY by ALAN SEEGER AT THE TOMB OF NAPOLEON BEFORE THE ELECTIONS IN AMERICA by ALAN SEEGER |
