BARCAROLE: DE VIGNY, by E. G. B. First Line: Come with me, lady fair Last Line: "here art thou free!" Subject(s): Freedom; Landfall; Sea; Liberty; Ocean | |||
COME with me, lady fair, Come o'er the sea! Leave thy gold, leave thy care, Sailing with me. The waves my shallop bear, -- Watch the masts swing, -- Rocked by each passing swell; 'T is but a cockle-shell, But I'm its king. Land! it was made for slaves, O lady fair! Free he who rules the waves, Free as the air. He who the billow braves, Far on the sea, Hears the wild waters cry, "Here love can never die, Here art thou free!" | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HALL OF OCEAN LIFE by JOHN HOLLANDER JULY FOURTH BY THE OCEAN by ROBINSON JEFFERS BOATS IN A FOG by ROBINSON JEFFERS CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE FIGUREHEAD by LEONIE ADAMS ISADORA DUNCAN DANCING 'IPHIGENIA IN AULIS' by LOUIS UNTERMEYER |
