COMPANIONS, by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: No, never quite alone am I. Last Line: I know there will be sorrow. Alternate Author Name(s): Tremaine, John Subject(s): Love - Unrequited | |||
No, never quite alone am I. Of ill why should I borrow? No matter where my footsteps bend There also follows sorrow. And she has taught my lips to sing A rapt and dauntless measure While all the world goes envying My mellow noted treasure. No, I have never walked alone! And as I face tomorrow, If I am still bereft of joy I know there will be sorrow. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONNET by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON TUTTO E SCIOLTO by JAMES JOYCE APPULDURCOMBE PARK by AMY LOWELL TALE OF THE MAYOR'S SON by GLYN MAXWELL ELEGY FOR AN ENEMY by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET ESSAY ON WHAT I THINK ABOUT MOST by ANNE CARSON OLD BLACK MEN by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON |
