DEDICATION TO MY PICK AND SHOVEL, by PATRICK MACGILL Poet's Biography First Line: Because we have swined in the drift Last Line: Volume of verses to you. Subject(s): Poetry & Poets | ||||||||
Because we have swined in the drift, Because we have horsed it alone, Strong, unafraid, or in shine or in shade, Companionless and unknown; Because we have laboured our bit For all our impetuous worth, Roughing it hard, discarded and scarred, In the uttermost corners of earth; Through the drag of the long, stagnant day, Where the infinite wilderness is, As we slunk from the breath of an imminent death In this tortuous world of His; Since we have been pals of the wild, Tried in the furnace and true, Don't take it amiss if I dedicate this Volume of verses to you. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ENVY OF OTHER PEOPLE'S POEMS by ROBERT HASS THE NINETEENTH CENTURY AS A SONG by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: TIME IS FILLED by LYN HEJINIAN OXOTA: A SHORT RUSSIAN NOVEL: CHAPTER 192 by LYN HEJINIAN LET ME TELL YOU WHAT A POEM BRINGS by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA JUNE JOURNALS 6/25/88 by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA FOLLOW ROZEWICZ by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA HAVING INTENDED TO MERELY PICK ON AN OIL COMPANY, THE POEM GOES AWRY by HICOK.
