A NEW PILGRIMAGE: 35, by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: At last I kneel in rome, the bourne, the goal Last Line: Clothed in new childhood and the light of heaven? Subject(s): Rome, Italy | |||
At last I kneel in Rome, the bourne, the goal Of what a multitude of laden hearts! No pilgrim of them all a wearier soul Brought ever here, no master of dark arts A spirit vexed with more discordant parts, No beggar a scrip barer of all dole; No son, alas, steps sorer with the darts Of that rebellious sorrow, his sin's toll. I kneel and make an offering of my care And folly, and hurt reason. Who would not In this fair city be the fool of prayer? Who would not kneel, if only for the lot Of being born againa soul forgiven, Clothed in new childhood and the light of Heaven? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THOSE GRAVES IN ROME by LARRY LEVIS ROMAN ELEGIES by JOSEPH BRODSKY ROMAN DIARY: 1951 by JOHN CIARDI VIGNETTES OVERSEAS: 7.
