HOW MUCH OF GODHOOD, by LOUIS UNTERMEYER Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: How much godhood did it take Last Line: Pillow the little weary head. Alternate Author Name(s): Lewis, Michael | ||||||||
How much of Godhood did it take -- What purging epochs had to pass, Ere I was fit for leaf and lake And worthy of the patient grass? What mighty travails must have been, What ages must have moulded me, Ere I was raised and made akin To dawn, the daisy and the sea. In what great struggles was I felled, In what old lives I labored long, Ere I was given a world that held A meadow, butterflies and Song? But oh, what cleansings and what fears, What countless raisings from the dead, Ere I could see Her, touched with tears, Pillow the little weary head. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A VOICE FROM THE SWEAT-SHOPS (A HYMN WITH RESPONSES) by LOUIS UNTERMEYER AFFIRMATION by LOUIS UNTERMEYER AT KENNEBUNKPORT by LOUIS UNTERMEYER AUCTION: ANDERSON GALLERIES by LOUIS UNTERMEYER AUTUMN DIALOGUE by LOUIS UNTERMEYER BATTLE HYMN OF THE RUSSIAN REPUBLIC by LOUIS UNTERMEYER BATTLE-CRIES by LOUIS UNTERMEYER CHILD AND HER STATUE by LOUIS UNTERMEYER COUNTRY SCHOOLROOM, ADIRONDACK MOUNTAINS by LOUIS UNTERMEYER |
