LOVE COMES, by ERNEST HOWARD CROSBY First Line: And who will lead the way? Last Line: Let the people love and theirs is the power! Subject(s): Hate; Love; Revolutions; War | ||||||||
And who will lead the way? The good and wise must lead. He that loves most is the best and wisest, and he it is that leads already. Violence will not yield to violence. Tell the great secret to the people. Love comes! Clear the way, ye institutions, ye laws and customs of ages of hate! The glance of his eyes would wither you. The quiet thrill of his voice would palsy your deepest foundations. Ye do well to tremble at his name. For he is the Revolutionat last the true, long-deferred Revolution. Love is the true Revolution, for Love alone strikes at the very root of ill. Let the people love, and they will lead, Let the people love and theirs is the power! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...I AM YOUR WAITER TONIGHT AND MY NAME IS DIMITRI by ROBERT HASS MITRAILLIATRICE by ERNEST HEMINGWAY RIPARTO D'ASSALTO by ERNEST HEMINGWAY WAR VOYEURS by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA THE DREAM OF WAKING by RANDALL JARRELL THE SURVIVOR AMONG GRAVES by RANDALL JARRELL SO MANY BLOOD-LAKES by ROBINSON JEFFERS CHOIR PRACTICE by ERNEST HOWARD CROSBY |
