SONG OF THE WANDERING KNIGHT, by ANONYMOUS First Line: My ornaments are sword and spear Last Line: May bid these knightly lips kiss thee Subject(s): Sailing & Sailors;travel;wandering & Wanderers;; Journeys;trips | ||||||||
MY ornaments are sword and spear, War is my pleasure near and far, My bed the cold green turf alone, My quenchless lamp yon trembling star. Long are my journeys through the day, Brief are my slumbers in the night; Thy spirit haunts me as I go; I kiss thy token with delight. From land to land I swiftly ride, And ever sail from sea to sea; And trust, fair lady, fate some day May bid these knightly lips kiss thee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...RICHARD, WHAT'S THAT NOISE? by RICHARD HOWARD LOOKING FOR THE GULF MOTEL by RICHARD BLANCO RIVERS INTO SEAS by LYNDA HULL DESTINATIONS by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE ONE WHO WAS DIFFERENT by RANDALL JARRELL THE CONFESSION OF ST.
