WE GATHER BACK, by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE First Line: We gather back again, boys Last Line: Whose deathless name we cherish. Subject(s): Dartmouth College; Youth | ||||||||
WE gather back again, boys, To pledge our hearts anew; We gather back again, boys, With love as firm and true As they who came here first, boys, A hundred years ago, With hearts that were undaunted at The wilderness of snow. We gather back again, boys, As we shall come here ever, Though youth may lose its garlands gay And time our ways may sever; We gather back again, boys, Where memories ne'er perish, To the temple of our Fathers Whose deathless name we cherish. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BETWEEN THE WARS by ROBERT HASS THE GOLDEN SHOVEL by TERRANCE HAYES ALONG WITH YOUTH by ERNEST HEMINGWAY THE BLACK RIVIERA by MARK JARMAN A MEMORY by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE |
