SONG OF YOUTH, by LULU PIPER AIKEN First Line: The lodestar guides the sailor on Last Line: So long as I am I! Subject(s): Youth | ||||||||
The lodestar guides the sailor on, The huntsman marks the trail, Galahad owned no lexicon To help him find the grail. And though dawns call diurnally And falls burn red as rust, Of small concern they all will be To eyes and ears of dust. But what the heart has drunk to slake Its thirst of bread laid by No greedy claw of time can take So long as I am I! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BETWEEN THE WARS by ROBERT HASS THE GOLDEN SHOVEL by TERRANCE HAYES ALONG WITH YOUTH by ERNEST HEMINGWAY THE BLACK RIVIERA by MARK JARMAN YOU MAY REMEMBER by LULU PIPER AIKEN |
