HEART O' THE NORTH, by ROBERT WILLIAM SERVICE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: And when I come to the dim trail-end Last Line: Eternity passing over. Subject(s): Canada; Future Life; North, The; Canadians; Retribution; Eternity; After Life | ||||||||
And when I come to the dim trail-end, I who have been Life's rover, This is all I would ask, my friend, Over and over and over: A little space on a stony hill With never another near me, Sky o' the North that's vast and still, With a single star to cheer me; Star that gleams on a moss-grey stone Graven by those who love me -- There would I lie alone, alone, With a single pine above me; Pine that the north wind whinnys through -- Oh, I have been Life's lover! But there I'd lie and listen to Eternity passing over. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IKON: THE HARROWING OF HELL by DENISE LEVERTOV LEEK STREET by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR UNABLE TO FIND by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR THE AFTERLIFE: LETTER TO STEPHEN DOBYNS 3 by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE AFTERLIFE: LETTER TO STEPHEN DOBYNS: 1 by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE AFTERLIFE: LETTER TO STEPHEN DOBYNS: 2 by HAYDEN CARRUTH WRITING IN THE AFTERLIFE by BILLY COLLINS CLANCY OF THE MOUNTED POLICE by ROBERT WILLIAM SERVICE |
