NOSTALGIA, by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON Poet's Biography First Line: All through their lives men build or dream them homes Last Line: Deeming it, more than mortal homes are, blest. Subject(s): Desire; Heaven; Home; Nostalgia; Peace; Paradise | |||
ALL through their lives men build or dream them homes, Longing for peace and quiet and household love; All through their lives -- though offering hecatombs To worldly pleasures and the shows thereof. And at the last, life-sick, with still the same Unconquerable desire within their breast, They yearn for heaven and murmur its dear name, Deeming it, more than mortal homes are, blest. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE END OF LIFE by PHILIP JAMES BAILEY SEVEN TWILIGHTS: 6 by CONRAD AIKEN THE BOOK OF THE DEAD MAN (#19): 2.
