ALONG THE HIGHROAD THE WAY IS TOO LONG, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Last Line: On me, for the broad light of many suns Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina Subject(s): Walking; Friendship | ||||||||
Along the highroad the way is too long Let us walk where the oak trees rise up thick I take a crab-, you take a cherry stick Let us go from among men to the throng Of belted bees: the wild roses smell strong And sweet; & my old dog is fain to lick My hand: best so in good truth I am sick Of the world; & hear silence as a song And you I think are changed friend you who once Would dance thro' the long night; a something called From your heart; into your hid brain it sunk; Oh listen silence maketh the air drunk I would not give these shades that have not palled On me, for the broad light of many suns. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...YOU & I BELONG IN THIS KITCHEN by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA JASON THE REAL by TONY HOAGLAND NO RESURRECTION by ROBINSON JEFFERS CHAMBER MUSIC: 17 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 18 by JAMES JOYCE THE STONE TABLE by GALWAY KINNELL ALMSWOMAN by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN TO AN ENEMY by MAXWELL BODENHEIM SONNET: 10.
