TAPS, by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: They are embosomed in the sod Last Line: With manifold fond measures. Alternate Author Name(s): Tremaine, John Subject(s): Army - United States | |||
They are embosomed in the sod, In still and tranquil leisure, Their lives they've cast like trifles down, To serve their country's pleasure. Nor bugle call, nor mother's voice, Nor moody mob's unreason, Shall break their solace and repose Through swiftly changing season. O graves of men who lived and died Afar from life's high pleasures, Fold them in tenderly and warm With manifold fond measures. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...YOUR LAD, AND MY LAD by RANDALL PARRISH A CALL TO ARMS by MARY RAYMOND SHIPMAN ANDREWS THE DEBT UNPAYABLE by FRANCIS WILLIAM BOURDILLON AN ADDRESS TO THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF ...
