THE WEST, by PEARL V. DODDRIDGE First Line: In space, unlimited and wide Last Line: The heart with song. Alternate Author Name(s): Hadley, Pearl V. Subject(s): Mountains; Serenity; West (u.s.); Hills; Downs (great Britain); Southwest; Pacific States | |||
In space unlimited and wide, One feels so small -- Forgets the cares of everyday -- Forgets them all. He feels himself become a part Of nature's plan, As though indeed, he'd been that part Since time began. One can forget that such a thing As strife exists If he but gaze across the mountains Blue with mist. So calm -- serene . . . their majesty -- Yet mighty, strong, The soul is filled with courage -- peace -- The heart with song. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WESTERN WAGONS by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET DRIVING WEST IN 1970 by ROBERT BLY IN THE HELLGATE WIND by MADELINE DEFREES A PERIOD PORTRAIT OF SYMPATHY by EDWARD DORN ASSORTED COMPLIMENTS by EDWARD DORN AT THE COWBOY PANEL by EDWARD DORN MOUNTAIN VALLEY by MALCOLM COWLEY THE GREAT RACE PASSES by EDGAR LEE MASTERS WRITTEN FOR MY SON, AND SPOKEN BY HIM AT HIS FIRST PUTTING ON BREECHES by MARY BARBER |
