This moment yearning and thoughtful sitting alone, It seems to me there are other men in other lands yearning and thoughtful, It seems to me I can look over and behold them in Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Or far, far away, in China, or in Russia or Japan, talking other dialects, And it seems to me if I could know those men I should become attached to them as I do to men in my own lands, O I know we should be brethren and lovers, I know I should be happy with them. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JOY OF THE MORNING by EDWIN MARKHAM HOMAGE TO SEXTUS PROPERTIUS: 7 by EZRA POUND OEDIPUS AT COLONUS: OLD AGE by SOPHOCLES MASSACHUSETTS TO VIRGINIA by JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER DRINKING SONG (5) by ALCAEUS OF MYTILENE CHOPIN'S NOCTURNE IN G MINOR by ARLO BATES TORRISMOND; AN UNFINISHED DRAMA by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES |
