(For Sara Teasdale) SING of the rose or of the mire; sing strife Or rising moons; the silence or the throng... Poet, it matters not, if Life Is in the song. If Life rekindles it, and if the rhymes Bear Beauty as their eloquent refrain, Though it were sung a thousand times, Sing it again! Thrill us with songlet others preach or rage; Make us so thirst for Beauty that we cease These struggles, and this strident age Grows sweet with peace. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A VOICE FROM THE SWEAT-SHOPS (A HYMN WITH RESPONSES) by LOUIS UNTERMEYER AFFIRMATION by LOUIS UNTERMEYER AT KENNEBUNKPORT by LOUIS UNTERMEYER AUCTION: ANDERSON GALLERIES by LOUIS UNTERMEYER AUTUMN DIALOGUE by LOUIS UNTERMEYER BATTLE HYMN OF THE RUSSIAN REPUBLIC by LOUIS UNTERMEYER BATTLE-CRIES by LOUIS UNTERMEYER CHILD AND HER STATUE by LOUIS UNTERMEYER COUNTRY SCHOOLROOM, ADIRONDACK MOUNTAINS by LOUIS UNTERMEYER |
