A NEW PILGRIMAGE: 27, by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The poets, every one, have sung of passion Last Line: For a friend's sake and your sworn brotherhood. Subject(s): Brotherhood | ||||||||
The poets, every one, have sung of passion. But which has sung of friendship, man with man? Love seeks its price, but friendship has a fashion Larger to give, and of less selfish plan. The world grows old. From Beersheba to Dan We find all barren, ruby lips grown ashen, Hearts hard with yearsand only Jonathan Weeping with David o'er a ruined nation. Then in the depth of days and our despair, We count our treasures, if so be remain Some loving letters, rings and locks of hair. Nay, mourn not love. These only are not vain, Your manlier wounds, when in the front you stood, For a friend's sake and your sworn Brotherhood. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE RESTAURANT by DAVID IGNATOW BROTHERHOOD by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON INEVITABLY (2) by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON INTERRACIAL by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON SPEECH TO THOSE WHO SAY COMRADE by ARCHIBALD MACLEISH BROTHERHOOD (2) by EDWIN MARKHAM ESTHER; A YOUNG MAN'S TRAGEDY: 50 by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT ESTHER; A YOUNG MAN'S TRAGEDY: 51 by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT THE LOVE SONNETS OF PROTEUS: 110.
