DILEMMA, by ORRICK JOHNS Poet's Biography First Line: What though the moon should come Last Line: Out of all words new. | |||
What though the moon should come With a blinding glow, And the stars have a game On the wood's edge, A man would have to still Cut and weed and sow, And lay a white line When he plants a hedge. What though God With a great sound of rain Came to talk of violets And things people do, I would have to labor And dig with my brain Still to get a truth Out of all words new. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INTERPRETER by ORRICK JOHNS THE NIGHTINGALE by PAUL VERLAINE THE MAD MAID'S SONG by ROBERT HERRICK NORTHERN CALIFORNIA NIGHT (STRAITS OF CARQUINEZ) by WILLIAM ROSE BENET |
