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 |
