FEAR AND LOVE, by EGMONT HEGEL ARENS First Line: Fearing my father Last Line: Perhaps wisely. Subject(s): Freedom; Obedience; Liberty | |||
Fearing my father, I sat still at table When the boys came up the alley Calling: "Come out! Come out!" And I hated the discipline Which held me there Foolishly. Loving my mate, I sat still at home When Life came up the alley Shouting: "Come out! Come out!" And I hated the tenderness Which held me there Perhaps wisely. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LOVE THE WILD SWAN by ROBINSON JEFFERS AFTER TENNYSON by AMBROSE BIERCE QUARTET IN F MAJOR by WILLIAM MEREDITH CROSS THAT LINE by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE EMANCIPATION by ELIZABETH ALEXANDER |
