TO TRIFLERS, by ROBERT WILLIAMS BUCHANAN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Go, triflers with god's secret. Far, oh, far Alternate Author Name(s): Maitland, Thomas | |||
Go, triflers with God's secret. Far, oh far Be your thin monotone, your brows Your backward-looking faces; for ye mar light. With flowers around the feverish temples bound, Take all the summer pleasures ye have While Circe- charm'd ye turn to bird and Meantime I sit apart, a lonely wight By those who sat before him in that On this bare rock amid this fitful Sea, And in the wind and rain I try to light A little lamp that may a Beacon be, Whereby poor ship -folk, driving thro' the night May gain the Ocean -course, and think of me! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LITTLE MILLINER by ROBERT WILLIAMS BUCHANAN A VOICE FROM ACADEME by ROBERT WILLIAMS BUCHANAN FRA GIACOMO by ROBERT WILLIAMS BUCHANAN IN LONDON ON SATURDAY NIGHT by ROBERT WILLIAMS BUCHANAN ON A YOUNG POETESS'S GRAVE by ROBERT WILLIAMS BUCHANAN PENELOPE by ROBERT WILLIAMS BUCHANAN PROTEUS by ROBERT WILLIAMS BUCHANAN PYGMALION THE SCULPTOR by ROBERT WILLIAMS BUCHANAN SPRING SONG IN THE CITY by ROBERT WILLIAMS BUCHANAN THE BATTLE OF DRUMLIEMOOR by ROBERT WILLIAMS BUCHANAN |
