TO WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE, by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: When time has rocked the present age to sleep Last Line: Shall permeate the heavens at your feet! Alternate Author Name(s): Tremaine, John Subject(s): Braithwaite, William Stanley (1878-1962) | |||
When time has rocked the present age to sleep, And lighter hearts are lilting to the sway Of rhythmic poesy's enhanced lay, Recurring sequences shall fitly keep Your fame eternal, as they lightly sweep Aside the curtain to that potent day When you in primal fervor led the way Unto Apollo's narrow winding steep. None shall forget your travail, utter, sore, That oped the golden avenue of song, When, like a knight, so errantly you bore The mantled children valiantly along, Their homage as a rising incense sweet Shall permeate the heavens at your feet! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONG OF THE SINNER by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE MEASURE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE RETURN (1) by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON WELT by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE, MY LITTLE ONE' by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON A BIT OF SKY by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON A DIM DOORWAY by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON A PARADOX by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON A SONG OF COURAGE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON AFTERGLOW by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON ALIENS (TO YOU - EVERYWHERE!
