Classic and Contemporary Poetry
TO MUFFET, by ALMA TATUM GARNER First Line: Early the fires of life burned fierce Last Line: Melts the heart and soul. Subject(s): Courage; Valor; Bravery | |||
Early the fires of life burned fierce and smouldered, And from red ashes there rose Courage to live again and love Better, and with a flame That flickered not, nor faltered, But burned to day's end and to night's. Broad brow, nose slightly tilted, tender eyes Speak steadfastness to truth and honor. White throat like a column, A structure, classical and beautiful. The mobile mouth, yet undaunted Melts the heart and soul. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...UNLESS IT WAS COURAGE by MARVIN BELL THE QUALITY OF COURAGE by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET ON THE OREGON COAST; FOR WILLIAM STAFFORD by ROBERT BLY WORDS WITH WALLACE STEVENS by ROBERT BLY BUFFALO CLOUDS OVER THE MAESTRO HOON by NORMAN DUBIE A SONG OF COURAGE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE AUDACIOUS by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON OH, THE WATER by DORIANNE LAUX SESTINA OF THE TRAMP ROYAL by RUDYARD KIPLING THE SONG OF HIAWATHA: HIAWATHA'S FASTING by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW |
