COME WITH ME, by JOHN LEE HIGGINS Poet's Biography First Line: Come wander down the white edge of the world Last Line: Some time when weary we may wander home. | |||
Come wander down the white edge of the world To tropic swarms that kindle in the heat Or where Norwegian promontories, pearled Splinter the seas that menace and retreat. Oh, come where bergs drift ghostly and austere Like white cathedrals beautiful and cold The glacier spawn that tops the hemisphere, Their pinnacles in prisms of sun-gold Or wander with me to an island where The smoking mountains blaze into the mere Of sapphire domes Romance unwreathes her hair, And moon-white beaches lie against the wave. Oh, come with me beyond the farthest foam: Some time when weary we may wander home. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...STORMED EAGLE by JOHN LEE HIGGINS O DREAMS, O DESTINATIONS by CECIL DAY LEWIS THE COAT OF FIRE by EDITH SITWELL THE WORN WEDDING-RING by WILLIAM COX BENNETT THE NIGHT SONG by MARY DELL ALLEN LOVE'S SECRET by ROBERT PECK BATES LOVE IN ARMOR by WILLIAM ROSE BENET THE WATER LILY by MARY FRANCES MARSHALL BUTTS |
