DRYBURGH, by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR First Line: Here lies his battered armour, hacked and scarred Last Line: Naught is immortal but the god in men. Subject(s): Mortality | |||
HERE lies his battered armour, hacked and scarred By the long conflict. Look, what fitter place To hold the garb so honourably marred! Green house of sleep, from which the years efface One after one, man's futile traceries, As one by one frail children of the pen Faint slowly to forgotten silences. Naught is immortal but the God in men. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WISE MEN IN THEIR BAD HOURS by ROBINSON JEFFERS READING ALOUD TO MY FATHER by JANE KENYON A LYNMOUTH WIDOW by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR |
