TO THE POET WHITTIER, ON HIS 70TH BIRTHDAY, by PAUL HAMILTON HAYNE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: From this far realm of pines I waft thee now Last Line: Shines the unsullied aureole of a child. Subject(s): Whittier, John Greenleaf (1807-1892) | |||
FROM this far realm of pines I waft thee now A brother's greeting, Poet, tried and true; So thick the laurels on thy reverend brow, We scarce can see the white locks glimmering through! O pure of thought! Earnest in heart as pen, The tests of time have left thee undefiled; And o'er the snows of threescore years and ten Shines the unsullied aureole of a child. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AS THE GREEK'S SIGNAL FLAME by WALT WHITMAN WHITE MAGIC: AN ODE by WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER by PHOEBE CARY TO JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER by CHRISTOPHER PEARSE CRANCH WHITTIER by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR THE SNOW-MESSENGERS by PAUL HAMILTON HAYNE TO WHITTIER by JOSEPHINE DEPHINE HENDERSON HEARD FOR WHITTIER'S SEVENTIETH BIRTHDAY by OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES IN MEMORY OF JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER by OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES A STORM IN THE DISTANCE (AMONG THE GEORGIAN HILLS) by PAUL HAMILTON HAYNE |
