Classic and Contemporary Poetry
BLIND SPOTS, by LOIS ETHLEEN SCHMIDT First Line: They said that he was first to fall Last Line: When there is war. Subject(s): War | ||||||||
They said that he was first to fall When there was war; But wondered why grief still remained Long after there was built A monument to honor him. It was years before they knew That they had failed to see The One who died before he fell; That Truth dies first the deadliest death When there is War. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...I AM YOUR WAITER TONIGHT AND MY NAME IS DIMITRI by ROBERT HASS MITRAILLIATRICE by ERNEST HEMINGWAY RIPARTO D'ASSALTO by ERNEST HEMINGWAY WAR VOYEURS by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA THE DREAM OF WAKING by RANDALL JARRELL THE SURVIVOR AMONG GRAVES by RANDALL JARRELL SO MANY BLOOD-LAKES by ROBINSON JEFFERS |
