"AH, if we only @3knew!@1" he said, The master -- now laid cold and dead -- Under the sweetest song joy sang This, like a burden, ever rang -- "Ah, if we only @3knew!@1" can we, Now death shows him the certainty, Now he has won his peace thro' pain, Wish him back to the doubt again? Nay, pass! thou great prince Gentle Heart! Crowned with the deathless days of Art -- To that far country -- old, yet ever new -- The land where all the dreams are true. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HOW MY HEART SINKS by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON LOST ILLUSIONS by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON ANSWER TO PRAYER by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON ON A TUFT OF GRASS by EMMA LAZARUS BETRAND AND GOURGAUD TALK OVER OLD TIMES by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
