INDEPENDENCE, by JAMES STEPHENS Poet's Biography First Line: I grew single and sure Last Line: That shall cause me to grow. Subject(s): Independence | ||||||||
I grew single and sure, And I will not endure That my mind should be seen By the sage or the boor. I will keep, if I can, From each brotherly man: The help of their hands Is no part of my plan. I will rise, I will go To the land of my foe; For his scowl is the sun That shall cause me to grow. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BOARDING: 4.
