A LEADER, by GEORGE WILLIAM RUSSELL Poet's Biography First Line: Though your eyes with tears were blind Last Line: And the mystery told in tears. Alternate Author Name(s): A. E. Subject(s): Leadership | |||
THOUGH your eyes with tears were blind, Pain upon the path you trod: Well we knew, the hosts behind, Voice and shining of a god. For your darkness was our day: Signal fires, your pains untold Lit us on our wandering way To the mystic heart of gold. Naught we knew of the high land, Beauty burning in its spheres; Sorrow we could understand And the mystery told in tears. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LEADER by JOHN PEPPER CLARK THE NEED FOR MEN by JOSIAH GILBERT HOLLAND OF GENERAL GOURAUD by ROBERTA BALFOUR NOT YE WHO GOAD by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON IN MEMORIAM G.D. by CHARLES WILLIAM BRODRIBB TOWARDS DEMOCRACY: PART 3.
