What lovely dark, blue flames, O Spade, Shine in thy steel so bright: See how the shadows smoke and play; How thou hast laboured, year by year, To reach this silver day. But thou, poor shining Sword, must wait Till sloth and idleness Can tell the world that splendid story: Nothing but rust, a bloodless rust, Shall cover thee with glory. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...REGARDING CHAINSAWS by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE OBJECTION TO BEING STEPPED ON by ROBERT FROST VERMONT FARMING TOOLS by DANIEL LEAVENS CADY SHORT ANSWER: MISHAP WITH A NAIL GUN by ROBERT WRIGLEY KEEPING THINGS NEAT by WALT MASON A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
