AT LAST, by KATRINA TRASK Poet Analysis First Line: Beyond the bourn of mortal death and birth Last Line: "the lord of life be praised! I, too, have died." Alternate Author Name(s): Trask, Kate Nichols | |||
BEYOND the bourn of mortal death and birth, Two lovers -- parted sorrowing on earth -- Met in the land of dim and ghostly space. Wondering, he gazed on her illumined face: "Alone you bear the burden now," he said, "Of bondage; mine is ended, -- I am dead." With rapturous note of victory, she cried, "The Lord of Life be praised! I, too, have died." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NOT TRANSHISTORICAL DEATH, OR AT LEAST NOT QUITE by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE DEFILED SANCTUARY by WILLIAM BLAKE THE BISHOP ORDERS HIS TOMB AT SAINT PRAXED'S CHURCH by ROBERT BROWNING WHEN THERE IS PEACE by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON RETRIBUTION by FRIEDRICH VON LOGAU THE GRAVE OF HOMER by ALCAEUS OF MESSENE |
