A CHANGELING GRATEFUL, by JOSEPHINE PRESTON PEABODY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Here they give me greeting Last Line: I will creep away. Alternate Author Name(s): Marks, Lionel S., Mrs. | ||||||||
HERE they give me greeting, House me warm within, Break their bread and share it With the heart of kin. Here the ruddy hearth-light Singes not a moth, Gives a summer welcome As a red rose doth. I would leave a gift here If I might: not I! -- Like a homeless laughter, Vagrant wind gone by. But while I am a glow-worm I will shine and stay: When I am a shadow ... I will creep away. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HARVEST MOON: 1914 by JOSEPHINE PRESTON PEABODY TO A DOG by JOSEPHINE PRESTON PEABODY A FAR OFF ROSE by JOSEPHINE PRESTON PEABODY CARAVANS by JOSEPHINE PRESTON PEABODY CRADLE SONG by JOSEPHINE PRESTON PEABODY DANCE TIME by JOSEPHINE PRESTON PEABODY ENVOI by JOSEPHINE PRESTON PEABODY FORTUNE AND MEN'S EYES by JOSEPHINE PRESTON PEABODY HARVEST MOON: 1916 by JOSEPHINE PRESTON PEABODY HERITAGE by JOSEPHINE PRESTON PEABODY |
