LOVE OF HOME; A REJOINDER, by CHARLES TENNYSON TURNER Poet's Biography First Line: Hence with your jeerings petulant and low Last Line: I learn from thee what change the world can bring. Subject(s): Home | ||||||||
Hence with your jeerings petulant and low; My love of home no circumstance can shake; Too ductile for the change of place to break, And far too passionate for thee to know; I and yon sycamore have grown together, How on yon slope the shifting sunsets lie, None know like me and mine; and, tending hither, Flows the strong current of my memory; From that same flower-bed, ever dear to me, I learnt how marigolds do bloom and fade; And from the grove, which skirts this garden-glade, I had my earliest thoughts of Love and Spring; Thou wott'st not how the heart of man is made; I learn from thee what change the world can bring. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EL FLORIDA ROOM by RICHARD BLANCO DESTINATIONS by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN TO THIS HOUSE by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE UPSTAIRS ROOM by WELDON KEES HOME IS SO SAD by PHILIP LARKIN DUTCH INTERIOR by DAVID LEHMAN HER FIRST-BORN by CHARLES TENNYSON TURNER |
