TO AUSTIN DOBSON, by ARTHUR KETCHUM First Line: Not unto you the gods gave wings Last Line: As spring has still its daffodils. | |||
NOT unto you the gods gave wings, To scale the far Olympic height, But made content with simpler things, Your Pegasus takes lower flight. Yet while into oblivion float Those vaster songs, sublimely grand -- All men are listening to your note, And as they listen, understand. Sing on, then, while the heart of youth In glad accordance answ'ring thrills, And life and love have still their truth, As spring has still its daffodils. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GEORGE DU MAURIER by ARTHUR KETCHUM MY LADY GOES TO THE PLAY by ARTHUR KETCHUM LITTLE SON by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON A DREAM, AFTER READING DANTE'S EPISODE OF PAULO & FRANCESCA by JOHN KEATS A CRADLE SONG OF THE NIGHT WIND by WILLIS BOYD ALLEN THE ORIGIN OF SONG-WRITING by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD THE TRIUMPH OF LOVE by WILLIAM ROSE BENET ASPIRATIONS: 10 by MATHILDE BLIND |
