FIRST CYCLE OF LOVE POEMS: 5, by GEORGE BARKER Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: My joy, my jockey, my gabriel Last Line: At night will sleep and keep by me. Subject(s): God | |||
My joy, my jockey, my Gabriel Who bares his horns above my sleep Is sleeping now. And I shall keep him In valley and on pinnacle And marvellous in my tabernacle. My peace is where his shoulder holds My clouds among his skies of face; His plenty is my peace, my peace. And like a serpent by a boulder His shade I rest in glory coiled. Time will divide us, and the sea Wring its sad hands all day between; The autumn bring a change of scene. But always and for ever he At night will sleep and keep by me. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MOUNTAIN IS STRIPPED by DAVID IGNATOW AS CLOSE AS BREATHING by MARK JARMAN UNHOLY SONNET 1 by MARK JARMAN UNHOLY SONNET 13 by MARK JARMAN BIRTH-DUES by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE SILENT SHEPHERDS by ROBINSON JEFFERS GOING TO THE HORSE FLATS by ROBINSON JEFFERS HOLY POEMS: 1 by GEORGE BARKER |
