EARTH-BOUND, by LUCILLE IREDALE CARLESON Poet's Biography First Line: You are star and fire-light Last Line: For I tell you earth will smother fire. | |||
You are star and fire-light, Why do you pause In your radiant wanderings To let this earth-bound one Dull your lustre? It would suffice Were you to leave a little smile As you passed by Some scented night. Go -- while there is yet time With a song on your lips, Lest your flame Be turned to ashes. Hold fast to your star-spun desire For I tell you earth will smother fire. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MOTHER NATURE by EMILY DICKINSON THE HERO OF VIMY; AN INCIDENT OF THE GREAT WAR by BRENT DOW ALLINSON OLD SAUGATUCK MILL by GRACE JEWETT AUSTIN SONNETS OF MANHOOD: 14.
