MAN AND NATURE, by ROBERT KELLEY WEEKS First Line: O steadfast trees that know Last Line: Prevented, but made strong! | |||
O STEADFAST trees that know Rain, hail, and sleet, and snow, And all the winds that blow; But when spring comes, can then So freshly bud again Forgetful of the wrong! Waters that deep below The stubborn ice can go With quiet underflow, Contented to be dumb Till spring herself shall come To listen to your song! Stars that the clouds pass o'er And stain not, but make more Alluring than before: -- How good it is for us That your lives are not thus Prevented, but made strong! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONG OF THE MOON by CLAUDE MCKAY STANZAS FOR MUSIC (3) by GEORGE GORDON BYRON AN ELEGY UPON THE DEATH OF DOCTOR DONNE, DEAN OF PAUL'S by THOMAS CAREW A THOUGHT SUGGESTED BY A VIEW, OF SADDLEBACK IN CUMBERLAND by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE A COUNTRY BURIAL by EMILY DICKINSON EPITAPHS OF THE WAR, 1914-18: A DEAD STATESMAN by RUDYARD KIPLING BEAVER BROOK by JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL VALENTINES TO MY MOTHER: 1878 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI |
