RIDERS, by ROBERT FROST Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The surest thing there is is we are riders Last Line: We have ideas yet that we haven’t tried Subject(s): Life Change Events | |||
The surest thing there is is we are riders, And though none too successful at it, guiders, Through everything presented, land and tide And now the very air, of what we ride. What is this talked of mystery of birth But being mounted bareback on the earth? We can just see the infant up astride, His small fist buried in the bushy hide. There is our wildest mount, a headless horse. But though it runs unbridled off its course, And all our blandishments would seem defied, We have ideas yet that we haven't tried. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CITY IN WHICH I WAS BORN WAS DESTROYED BY CANNON by YEHUDA AMICHAI AT FIRST I WAS GIVEN by MARGARET ATWOOD THE WORLD'S A STAGE by HILAIRE BELLOC LEARNING TO TALK by CECIL DAY LEWIS THE NEWBORN by CECIL DAY LEWIS SOMEBODY'LL HAV' TO SHOOT YA DOWN' by NORMAN DUBIE AFTER THREE PHOTOGRAPHS OF BRASSAI by NORMAN DUBIE |
