SONNET SEQUENCE: FOR CHARMION, by JOSEPH FREEMAN Poet's Biography First Line: And so again an evil darkness falls Last Line: Blind milton waited for another age. Subject(s): Evil; Sonnet (as Literary Form) | |||
And so again an evil darkness falls Upon the world, upon the dreams of men; The drums beat mournfully, the trumpet calls, We take our places, we shall fight again, Knowing the good will triumph in the end; Yea, in the end, far-off, beyond our time, Men shall move in a great light, none will bend His knee to any master, nor will crime Stain the most glorious banner, nor a lie Corrupt the lips of those who guide our feet: Obscure, rejected, you are not to die; Patiently hear the heart of truth beat, And wait as, quieting his noble rage, Blind Milton waited for another age. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WAS THAT REALLY A SONNET? by ANSELM HOLLO RETICENT SONNET by ANNE CARSON SONNET: OF THREE GIRLS AND OF THEIR TALK by GIOVANNI BOCCACCIO WHAT THE SONNET IS by EUGENE JACOB LEE-HAMILTON ON A MAGAZINE SONNET by RUSSELL HILLARD LOINES THE HOUSE OF LIFE: THE SONNET (INTRODUCTION) by DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI REMEMBERED MUSIC by JOSEPH FREEMAN |
