DREAMS, by PHILIP MAX RASKIN First Line: I will not change my path with you Last Line: For all your dreams of gold. Alternate Author Name(s): Raskin, P. M. Subject(s): Dreams; Materialism; Worship; Nightmares | ||||||||
I will not change my path with you, O worshippers of gold! My path is rough, but heaven-lit, And yours is smooth, but cold. In your resplendent halls each night The ghost of envy strides, While in the castle of my heart The living God resides. My heart is young, though youth is gone; Your hearts in youth are old; I will not change one golden dream For all your dreams of gold. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN VARIATIONS: 18 by CONRAD AIKEN LIVE IT THROUGH by DAVID IGNATOW A DREAM OF GAMES by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE DREAM OF WAKING by RANDALL JARRELL APOLOGY FOR BAD DREAMS by ROBINSON JEFFERS GIVE YOUR WISH LIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS A GHETTO CRADLE-SONG by PHILIP MAX RASKIN |
