J. R. L. (ON HIS HOMEWARD VOYAGE): 2, by CHRISTOPHER PEARSE CRANCH Poet's Biography First Line: O ship that bears him to his native shore Last Line: Beyond the enshrouding mysteries of earth. Subject(s): Diplomacy & Diplomats; Lowell, James Russell (1819-1891); Poetry & Poets | ||||||||
O SHIP that bears him to his native shore, Beneath whose keel the seething ocean heaves, Bring safe our poet with his garnered sheaves Of Life's ripe autumn poesy and lore! Though round the old homestead where we met of yore In the unsaddened days the southwind grieves Through his green elms, and all their summer leaves Seem whispering of the scenes that come no more, Yet may the years that brought him honors due Where Europe's best and wisest learned his worth, Yield hope and strength to reach horizons new In the broad Western land that gave him birth; Nor bar his vision to a sunlit view Beyond the enshrouding mysteries of earth. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ENVY OF OTHER PEOPLE'S POEMS by ROBERT HASS THE NINETEENTH CENTURY AS A SONG by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: TIME IS FILLED by LYN HEJINIAN OXOTA: A SHORT RUSSIAN NOVEL: CHAPTER 192 by LYN HEJINIAN LET ME TELL YOU WHAT A POEM BRINGS by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA JUNE JOURNALS 6/25/88 by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA FOLLOW ROZEWICZ by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA HAVING INTENDED TO MERELY PICK ON AN OIL COMPANY, THE POEM GOES AWRY by HICOK.
