What if I say I shall not wait! What if I burst the fleshly Gate - And pass escaped - to thee! What if I file this Mortal - off - See where it hurt me - That's enough - And wade in Liberty!

Dungeons can call - and Guns implore Unmeaning - now - to me - As laughter - was - an hour ago - Or Laces - or a Travelling Show - Or who died - yesterday! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE KISS by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR TO THE MOON (1) by PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY THREE SONNETS WRITTEN IN MID-CHANNEL: 3 by ALFRED AUSTIN THE BATTLE OF QUEENSTOWN by WILLIAM BANKER JR.
