ADMONITION, by FREDERIKA BLACKNER First Line: We cherish the things that pass Last Line: Never knowledge. Subject(s): Advice; Beauty | |||
We cherish the things that pass And give them our life. Be tender of the flowers instead, Not of praises. Hold the flame of the sunset: The enduring. For if aught of earth remain For the final dreaming, It will be the curve of a bird's flight -- Never knowledge. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN DIVINELY SUPERFLUOUS BEAUTY by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE BEAUTY OF THINGS by ROBINSON JEFFERS HOPE IS NOT FOR THE WISE by ROBINSON JEFFERS LIFE FROM THE LIFELESS by ROBINSON JEFFERS REARMAMENT by ROBINSON JEFFERS SHANE ONEILLS CAIRN by ROBINSON JEFFERS |
