THE PATER OF THE CANNON, by SHANE LESLIE Poet's Biography First Line: Father of the thunder Last Line: Give for daily bread! Subject(s): War | |||
Father of the thunder, Flinger of the flame, Searing stars asunder, Hallowed be Thy Name! By the sweet-sung quiring Sister bullets hum, By our fiercest firing, May Thy Kingdom come! By Thy strong apostle Of the Maxim gun, By his pentecostal Flame, Thy Will be done! Give us, Lord, good feeding To Thy battles sped -- Flesh, white grained and bleeding, Give for daily bread! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...I AM YOUR WAITER TONIGHT AND MY NAME IS DIMITRI by ROBERT HASS MITRAILLIATRICE by ERNEST HEMINGWAY RIPARTO D'ASSALTO by ERNEST HEMINGWAY WAR VOYEURS by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA THE DREAM OF WAKING by RANDALL JARRELL THE SURVIVOR AMONG GRAVES by RANDALL JARRELL SO MANY BLOOD-LAKES by ROBINSON JEFFERS |
