THE COMEDIAN, by E. D. GARNER First Line: In the book of time each man must write Last Line: "a man who helped the world be gay." | |||
In the book of Time each man must write His page; in permanent ink he must indite His gauge; happy this man who jotting down His deeds can say: "Though I achieved no great renown, Nor leaves of bay, I gladdened those who'd lost Their way. None in the depths of anguish ever tossed But thence I raised; I sign myself today -- A man who helped the world be gay." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE AUTHOR TO HER BOOK by ANNE BRADSTREET THE GOLDEN ODES OF PRE-ISLAMIC ARABIA: IBN KOLTHUM by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT THE POET'S VOW by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING WINDSOR, VERMONT by DANIEL LEAVENS CADY THE LEGEND OF LADY GERTRUDE by ADA CAMBRIDGE WAS HE HENPECKED? by PHOEBE CARY THE GREAT ADVENTURE by PATRICK REGINALD CHALMERS |
