THE VAGABOND GROWN OLD, by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR First Line: So warm the lighted windows glow Last Line: And I have known the road in spring. Subject(s): Wandering & Wanderers; Wanderlust; Vagabonds; Tramps; Hoboes | ||||||||
SO warm the lighted windows glow Across the darkness and the snow -- The trodden road, the sodden road, The road wherein I chose to go. THE winter skies are steely gray -- The winter stars are far away. Light were my feet when winds were sweet, But bitter going's mine to-day. YET as I trudge, I needs must sing, For be he vagabond or king, A man must choose what he will lose -- And I have known the road in spring. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BUMS, ON WAKING by JAMES DICKEY A FOLK SINGER OF THE THIRTIES by JAMES DICKEY WANDERER IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY by CLARENCE MAJOR THE WANDERER by WYSTAN HUGH AUDEN LONG GONE by STERLING ALLEN BROWN BLACK SHEEP by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON A VAGABOND SONG by BLISS CARMAN A LYNMOUTH WIDOW by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR |
