SUPPLICATION, by JOSEPH SEAMON COTTER JR. Poet's Biography First Line: I am so tired and weary Last Line: That I must journey on. Subject(s): Rest | |||
I am so tired and weary, So tired of the endless fight, So weary of waiting the dawn And finding endless night. That I ask but rest and quiet -- Rest for the days that are gone, And quiet for the little space That I must journey on. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DE LITTLE PICKANINNY'S GONE TO SLEEP by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON MOTHER NIGHT by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON BOY'S SLEEP by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE HOW FAR IS IT TO THE LAND WE LEFT? by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE IT'S NOT COLD HERE by ELEANOR WILNER HASTE NOT!
