ONE IN THE INFINITE, by GEORGE FRANCIS SAVAGE-ARMSTRONG Poet's Biography First Line: Roll on, and with thy rolling crust Last Line: And dead through endless ages? | ||||||||
ROLL on, and with thy rolling crust That round thy poles thou twirlest, Roll with thee, Earth, this grain of dust, As through the Vast thou whirlest; On, on through zones of dark and light Still waft me, blind and reeling, Around the sun, and with his flight In wilder orbits wheeling. Speed on through deeps without a shore, This Atom with thee bearing, Thyself a grain of dust -- no more -- 'Mid fume of systems flaring. Ah, what am I to thirst for power, Or pore on Nature's pages, -- Whirl'd onward, living for an hour, And dead through endless ages? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GLENS OF WICKLOW by GEORGE FRANCIS SAVAGE-ARMSTRONG HELEN'S TOWER by GEORGE FRANCIS SAVAGE-ARMSTRONG HOME-LONGINGS: GWEEDORE, COUNTY DONEGAL by GEORGE FRANCIS SAVAGE-ARMSTRONG LUGNAQUILLIA by GEORGE FRANCIS SAVAGE-ARMSTRONG MY GUIDE by GEORGE FRANCIS SAVAGE-ARMSTRONG SILENCE by GEORGE FRANCIS SAVAGE-ARMSTRONG SUMMER RHYME by GEORGE FRANCIS SAVAGE-ARMSTRONG THE MYSTERY by GEORGE FRANCIS SAVAGE-ARMSTRONG THE SHAWLIE by GEORGE FRANCIS SAVAGE-ARMSTRONG THE WEE LASSIE'S FIRST LUVE by GEORGE FRANCIS SAVAGE-ARMSTRONG |
