FROM FRANCE, by ISAAC ROSENBERG Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The spirit drank the cafe lights Last Line: And this is life in france. Subject(s): World War I - France | |||
The spirit drank the café lights; All the hot life that glittered there, And heard men say to women gay, 'Life is just so in France'. The spirit dreams of café lights, And golden faces and soft tones, And hears men groan to broken men, 'This is not Life in France'. Heaped stones and a charred signboard shows With grass between and dead folk under, And some birds sing, while the spirit takes wing. And this is Life in France. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...O GLORIOUS FRANCE by EDGAR LEE MASTERS NAPOLEON'S TOMB by DANA BURNET INFANTRY by PATRICK REGINALD CHALMERS FLOWER BEDS IN THE TUILERIES by GRACE ELLERY CHANNING-STETSON QUI VIVE? by GRACE ELLERY CHANNING-STETSON PLACE DE LA CONCORDE by FLORENCE EARLE COATES VIVE LA FRANCE! by CHARLOTTE HOLMES CRAWFORD A BALLAD OF WHITECHAPEL by ISAAC ROSENBERG |
