GO you forward, if you will, Go you forward, if you can; I am all for standing still, Here to love a lovely plan. Go you forward, if you will, Hopes of praise and lordship wreathing; I stay here, to have my fill, Now the beanfield's breathing. If you linger, only sigh; If you linger, only dream Heaven itself is floating by In a blossom-bearing stream. If you linger, only sigh Fancies of so fair a wreathing As can fitly take the sky Now the beanfield's breathing. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THREE SONNETS by RICHARD WILBUR A CARELESS HEART by ISAAC ROSENBERG AFTER THE BURIAL by JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL RECONCILIATION by WALT WHITMAN LAUS DEO! by JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER THE HILLS WE LOVE by GRACE LOWE BROADHEAD SONNETS FROM THE PORTUGUESE: 31 by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING |
