Come to me grief, for ever, Come to me tears day and night, Come to me plaint! Ah, helpless, Just grief; heart's tears! plaint worthy. Go from me dread to die now, Go from me care to live now, Go from me joys all on earth, Sidney, O Sidney, is dead. He whom the court adorned, He whom the country courtes'd, He who made happy his friends, He that did good to all men. Sidney, the hope of land strange, Sidney, the flower of England, Sidney, the spirit heroic, Sidney is dead. O dead, dead. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...UNLESS IT WAS COURAGE by MARVIN BELL THE QUALITY OF COURAGE by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET ON THE OREGON COAST; FOR WILLIAM STAFFORD by ROBERT BLY WORDS WITH WALLACE STEVENS by ROBERT BLY BUFFALO CLOUDS OVER THE MAESTRO HOON by NORMAN DUBIE A SONG OF COURAGE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE AUDACIOUS by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON OH, THE WATER by DORIANNE LAUX TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
