VAGRANT by WITTER BYNNER

Poet Analysis

First Line: I COME AND GO
Last Line: I LIE ALONE.
Subject(s): FREEDOM; INDEPENDENCE; LIBERTY;

I come and go
And never stay.
I pick and choose
A night, a day,
I find, I lose,
I laugh along,
I will not know
Right things from wrong.

I pity those
Who pity me,
I ask no boon,
But being free ...
And so the moon,
My polished stone,
Shines and shows
I lie alone.
