RENOVATION, by THOMAS STURGE MOORE Poet's Biography First Line: Would that I were naked adam Last Line: For sea, forest or glen? Alternate Author Name(s): Moore, T. Sturge | ||||||||

Should we miss house or street or town, Gossip, tea or cake, Might we but climb a breeze-rocked pine, Doze there or lie awake? Ah, nothing grieves that is itself: Say, are these millions men Who, boxed in slate-roofed rows, there sicken For sea, forest or glen? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SILENCE SINGS by THOMAS STURGE MOORE THE DYING SWAN by THOMAS STURGE MOORE THESEUS by THOMAS STURGE MOORE A MIDNIGHT ECSTASY by THOMAS STURGE MOORE A TORRENT: 2 by THOMAS STURGE MOORE ALCESTIS IS SPOKEN OF by THOMAS STURGE MOORE ALCESTIS SPEAKS by THOMAS STURGE MOORE AN OLD SNATCH DREAMED OVER by THOMAS STURGE MOORE BEFORE REREADING SHAKESPEARE'S SONNETS by THOMAS STURGE MOORE |
