SONG: 18, by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD Poet's Biography First Line: Because I built my nest so high Last Line: As near the sun. Alternate Author Name(s): Radford, Ernest, Mrs. | |||
BECAUSE I built my nest so high, Must I despair If a fierce wind, with bitter cry, Passes the lower branches by, And mine makes bare? Because I hung it, in my pride, So near the skies, Higher than other nests abide, Must I lament if far and wide It scattered lies? I shall but build, and build my best, Till, safety won, I hang aloft my new-made nest, High as of old, and see it rest As near the sun. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A BALLAD OF VICTORY by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD A BRIDE by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD A CONCERT by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD A DREAM OF 'DREAMS' by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD A MODEL by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD A MODERN POLYPHEME by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD A NOVEMBER ROSE by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD A NOVICE by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD A PORTRAIT by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD A PRAYER by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD |
