ROBERT E. LEE, by GAMALIEL BRADFORD First Line: O, robert lee, you paladin Last Line: "good friend, it really doesn't matter." Subject(s): Lee, Robert Edward (1807-1870) | |||
O Robert Lee, you paladin, I wonder how my words would strike you. I know the portrait might have been In many, many ways more like you. But you would not have had me plan To make your figure more heroic For you would rather be a man Than just a marble hearted stoic. And I can often hear you say, When they condemn and when they flatter, In your divinely tender way, "Good friend, it really doesn't matter." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LEE IN THE MOUNTAINS, 1865-1870 by DONALD (GRADY) DAVIDSON ROBERT E.
