THE POET, by CHARLES HANSON TOWNE Poet's Biography First Line: Back of his splendid song, o think of the Last Line: Sung by an unborn singer in a new and wonderful spring! Subject(s): Poetry & Poets | ||||||||
BACK of his splendid song, O think of the songs unsung! Back of his painted dreams, the dreams that he never reveals! Behind each lyric of rapture The songs that he cannot capture, Save for his own delight, to keep his heart still young! But the songs that he never can sing -- Children created of one glad song that tells us what he feels -- Some day they shall be uttered, When far his soul has fluttered, Sung by an unborn singer in a new and wonderful Spring! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ENVY OF OTHER PEOPLE'S POEMS by ROBERT HASS THE NINETEENTH CENTURY AS A SONG by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: TIME IS FILLED by LYN HEJINIAN OXOTA: A SHORT RUSSIAN NOVEL: CHAPTER 192 by LYN HEJINIAN LET ME TELL YOU WHAT A POEM BRINGS by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA JUNE JOURNALS 6/25/88 by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA FOLLOW ROZEWICZ by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA HAVING INTENDED TO MERELY PICK ON AN OIL COMPANY, THE POEM GOES AWRY by HICOK.
