PHILOSOPHY, by C. W. CRANNELL First Line: Shall I grieve because a maid Last Line: Medal men are seldom in it. Subject(s): Love - Unrequited; Philosophy & Philosophers | |||
SHALL I grieve because a maid Swore to love me -- failed to do it? When we both are old and staid, I shall laugh -- and she shall rue it. Shall I grieve, if for a prize, Strive my best -- I fail to win it? In the world where honor lies, Medal men are seldom in it. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ROMAN SKETCHBOOK: READING/RUSSELL SAYS, 'THERE IS NO RHINOCEROS IN by ROBERT CREELEY THE CLOUDS OF MAGELLAN (APHORISMS OF MR.
