A STEEPLE ON THE HOUSE, by ROBERT FROST Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: What if it should turn out eternity Last Line: Means that a soul is coming on the flesh Subject(s): Worship | |||
What if it should turn out eternity Was but the steeple on our house of life That made our house of life a house of worship? We do not go up there to sleep at night, We do not go up there to live by day. Nor need we ever go up there to live. A spire and belfry coming on the roof Means that a soul is coming on the flesh . | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...COMPANIONSHIP by MALTBIE DAVENPORT BABCOCK FOR I WILL CONSIDER YOUR DOG MOLLY by DAVID LEHMAN RUSSIAN CATHEDRAL by CLAUDE MCKAY LITTLE WHITE CHURCH by MARILYN NELSON MATE (1) by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON ANSWER TO PRAYER by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON THE TEN COMMANDMENTS by GEORGE SANTAYANA LEAVING CHURCH EARLY by JOHN UPDIKE |
