THE SKAITH OF GUILLARDUN: 10, by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE First Line: Blow soft, ye winds, to soothe a hero's pillow Last Line: Compared with that which in man's world we find! Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles Subject(s): Courage; Heroism; Valor; Bravery; Heroes; Heroines | |||
Blow soft, ye winds, to soothe a hero's pillow, Speak low, ye waves, that plash against his prow, Yet, if ye rage, let not the rolling billow Its stormy crests too mightily endow; Scourge not that head which like the wind-bent willow The Acerbity of Fate did oft avow. Blow high, blow low,—your buffeting is kind Compared with that which in man's world we find! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CONFESSION OF ST.
