THE ACORN (1), by JOHN BANISTER TABB Poet's Biography First Line: I am the heir, the acorn small Last Line: To life's dominion must I fall. Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb Subject(s): Acorns | |||
I am the heir, the Acorn small, To whom as tributaries all, The root, the stem, the branches tall, Do homage round my castle wall. And yet, obedient to the call Of Earth, through Death's opposing thrall -- Of wealth a seeming prodigal -- To Life's dominion must I fall. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE ACORN (2) by JOHN BANISTER TABB THE EMBERS SPEAK by THOMAS WALSH ANONYMOUS by JOHN BANISTER TABB AT BETHLEHEM: 1.
