Poet Analysis

First Line: THE NEW WORLD'S SONS, FROM ENGLAND'S BREASTS WE DREW
Last Line: THIS WINDOW WE INSCRIBE WITH RALEIGH'S NAME.
Subject(s): RALEIGH, SIR WALTER (1552-1618);
THE New World's sons, from England's breasts we drew
Such milk as bids remember whence we came;
Proud of her Past wherefrom our Present grew,
This window we inscribe with Raleigh's name.
