HE came out the void Buoyed upon the surging tides. He braved the West, Defied the wide frontiers; He trekked the continents And enthroned his name Among the white, the black, the brown, the yellow men. He trod the frond, Fording the darkened streams That glide through jungles To the tropic sea. He spanned the globe, He swept the skies, And moved beneath the eaters of the deep. He entered all the portals of the world. A vibrant, thrilled, exhaustless, restless soul; Riding at last the very stars -- Asleep. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HAUNTED HOUSES by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW LA BELLA BONA ROBA by RICHARD LOVELACE THREE MOMENTS IN PARIS: 1.
