FROM DUST THOU ART, by FRANCES WADDLE First Line: And we shall build upon the earth Last Line: But even us, its builders. Subject(s): Buildings & Builders | ||||||||
And we shall build upon the earth And cover grass-swept fields With stone and brick and mortar. Harnessed streams shall lend their strength To men. We shall replace with our creations All that she has made to live and grow. Oh, what conquerors we! Yet, in our hearts we know That we will succeed Only so long as she decrees -- Until she claims not only what we have built, But even us, its builders. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BUILDINGS by WENDELL BERRY INCONGRUOUS BUILDERS by AIME CESAIRE HAIL TEESSIDE! by CECIL DAY LEWIS BUILDING A PAINTING A HOME by BOB HICOK |
