ADVENTURERS, by MADISON JULIUS CAWEIN Poet's Biography First Line: Seemingly over the hill-tops Last Line: Sailing a dauntless sail. | |||
SEEMINGLY over the hill-tops, Possibly under the hills, A tireless wing that never drops, And a song that never stills. Epics heard on the stars' lips? Lyrics read in the dew? -- To sing the song at our finger-tips, And live the world anew! Cavaliers of the Cortes kind, Bold and stern and strong, -- And, oh, for a fine and muscular mind To sing a new-world's song! Sailing seas of the silver morn, Winds of the balm and spice, To put the old-world art to scorn At the price of any price! Danger, death, but the hope high! God's, if the propose fail! Into the deeds of a vaster sky Sailing a dauntless sail. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A COIGN OF THE FOREST by MADISON JULIUS CAWEIN A DREAM SHAPE by MADISON JULIUS CAWEIN A FALLEN BEECH by MADISON JULIUS CAWEIN A FLOWER OF THE FIELDS by MADISON JULIUS CAWEIN A NIGHT IN JUNE by MADISON JULIUS CAWEIN A SLEET-STORM IN MAY by MADISON JULIUS CAWEIN A TWILIGHT MOTH by MADISON JULIUS CAWEIN AFTER RAIN by MADISON JULIUS CAWEIN ALONG THE OHIO by MADISON JULIUS CAWEIN ANTHEM OF DAWN by MADISON JULIUS CAWEIN |
