THE HERMIT, by GLADYS CROMWELL Poet's Biography First Line: I mark the hermit's den Last Line: The burden of christ dead. Subject(s): Hermits | ||||||||
I MARK the hermit's den, And ponder why he fled So far from other men; Why chose to make his bed In lonely Nature's fen. For surely he must tread On yearnings even there; And he must see -- outspread -- The vital branches bear The burden of Christ dead. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO A YOUNG WOMAN DYING by NORMAN DUBIE TANGENTIAL by LOUIS UNTERMEYER THE THREE HERMITS by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS THE HERMIT by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES THE POEMS OF COLD MOUNTAIN: 265 by HAN SHAN THE POEMS OF COLD MOUNTAIN: 276 by HAN SHAN |
