TO A FRIEND, WITH A VOLUME OF VERSES, by MATHILDE BLIND Poet's Biography First Line: To you who dwell withdrawn, above Last Line: Oh, brave idealist. Alternate Author Name(s): Lake, Claude Subject(s): Friendship; Idealism | ||||||||
TO you who dwell withdrawn, above The world's tumultuous strife, And, in an atmosphere of love, Have triumphed over life; To you whose heart has kept so young Beneath the weight of years, I give these passion flowers of song, Still wet with undried tears. You too have trod that stony path Which steeply winds afar, And seen, through nights of storm and wrath, The bright and Morning Star; Where, shining o'er the Alps of time On valleys full of mist, It beckons us to peaks sublime, Oh, brave Idealist. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TWO STUDIES IN IDEALISM: 2.
