A 'CORNHILL' RONDEAU, by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: For two-score years the tumbling spray Last Line: For two-score years! Alternate Author Name(s): Dobson, Austin Subject(s): Cornhill Magazine | |||
(FOR THE FIVE-HUNDREDTH NUMBER OF THE 'CORNHILL MAGAZINE') FOR two-score years the tumbling spray Has fallen from our bows away; What change of skipper and of crew, Since first the CORNHILL sailed the blue, Grain-laden, Master, THACKERAY! TROLLOPE, GEORGE ELIOT, GASKELL -- nay, Our own dear 'Blackstick' of to-day, -- What wealth of genius old and new For two-score years! Once more we steer across the bay. With no vain thought our hearts are gay; Our log is clean, our course is true; What we have done, we mean to do; We hope, once more, to lead the way For two-score years! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A GAGE D'AMOUR by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON A GARDEN SONG by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON ARS VICTRIX (IMITATED FROM THEOPHILE GAUTIER) by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON BEFORE SEDAN by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON DORA VERSUS ROSE by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON GROWING GRAY by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW; IN MEMORIAM by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON IN AFTER DAYS; RONDEAU by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON THE BALLAD OF PROSE AND RHYME by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON WHEN THERE IS PEACE by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON |
