TOWARDS DEMOCRACY: PART 2. TO A FRIEND, by EDWARD CARPENTER Poet's Biography First Line: Faithful eyes, fail not Last Line: Through the dark night by you. Subject(s): Friendship; Relationships | |||
FAITHFUL eyes, fail not. Though sorrows come upon you, though temptations try, though age and grief assault you—fail not, fail not How many hang upon you for your light, Shining in darkness—as the stars that shine Upon the mighty deep for mariners! O eyes, be true, give all away for that— Give all your days and all good name and honor, If need should be, for that. That we may steer Through the dark night by you. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AMERICAN WEDDING by ESSEX HEMPHILL PUNK HALF PANTHER by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA LET US GATHER IN A FLOURISHING WAY by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA THE DIFFERENCE by RICHARD HOWARD THE ADVANCE OF THE FATHER by FANNY HOWE AS A MOULD FOR SOME FAIR FORM by EDWARD CARPENTER |
