BEYOND, by DIGBY MACKWORTH DOLBEN Poet's Biography First Line: Beyond the calumny and wrong Last Line: Are his. Alternate Author Name(s): Dolben, Digby Augustus Stewart Mackworth | ||||||||
BEYOND the calumny and wrong, Beyond the clamour and the throng, Beyond the praise and triumph-song He passed. Beyond the scandal and the doubt, The fear within, the fight without, The turmoil and the battle-shout He sleeps. The world for him was not so sweet That he should grieve to stay his feet Where youth and manhood's highways meet, And die. For every child a mother's breast, For every bird a guarded nest; For him alone was found no rest But this. Beneath the flight of happy hours, Beneath the withering of the flowers In folds of peace more sure than ours He lies. A night no glaring dawn shall break, A sleep no cruel voice shall wake, An heritage that none can take Are his. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A POEM WITHOUT A NAME: 1 by DIGBY MACKWORTH DOLBEN A POEM WITHOUT A NAME: 2 by DIGBY MACKWORTH DOLBEN A PRAYER by DIGBY MACKWORTH DOLBEN A SEA SONG by DIGBY MACKWORTH DOLBEN A SONG OF EIGHTEEN by DIGBY MACKWORTH DOLBEN AFTER READING AESCHYLUS by DIGBY MACKWORTH DOLBEN AFTER READING HOMER by DIGBY MACKWORTH DOLBEN ANACREONTIC by DIGBY MACKWORTH DOLBEN BREVI TEMPORE MAGNUM PERFECIT OPUS by DIGBY MACKWORTH DOLBEN CORE by DIGBY MACKWORTH DOLBEN DUM AGONIZATUR ANIMA, ORENT ASSISTENTES; FRAGMENT by DIGBY MACKWORTH DOLBEN |
