A NEW PILGRIMAGE: 3, by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I will break through my bondage. Let me be Last Line: Where none may know me, or have ever known. | ||||||||
I will break through my bondage. Let me be Homeless once more, a wanderer on the Earth, Marked with my soul's sole care for company, Like Cain, lest I do murder on my hearth. I ask not others' goods, nor wealth nor worth, Nor the world's kindness, which should comfort me, But to forget the story of my birth, And go forth naked of all name, but free. Where the flowers blow, there let me sit and dream. Where the rain falls, ah! leave my tears their way. Where men laugh loud, I too will join the hymn, And in God's congregation let me pray. Only aloneI ask this thingalone, Where none may know me, or have ever known. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ESTHER; A YOUNG MAN'S TRAGEDY: 51 by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT THE LOVE SONNETS OF PROTEUS: 110.
