GRASS, by PAUL EDWARD CORLETT First Line: I walked among the cathedrals Last Line: Is very kind! Subject(s): Cemeteries; Grass; Graveyards | ||||||||
I walked among the Cathedrals Of Death: some were like Athenian palaces of old. Some were bright and new Marble from Vermont. Some were stately and others Old and rain-washed: ravished By elements unseen. Tumbled and unkept stones Marked the graves of some. Yet all was silence there In the Cemetery and grass was Over the graves: and the grass Is very kind! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...POEM FOR MY TWENTIETH BIRTHDAY by KENNETH KOCH THERE IS ALWAYS A LITTLE WIND by TED KOOSER JEWISH GRAVEYARDS, ITALY by PHILIP LEVINE SAILING HOME FROM RAPALLO by ROBERT LOWELL THE HILL ABOVE THE MINE by MALCOLM COWLEY JONES'S PRIVATE ARGYMENT by SIDNEY LANIER |
