TO THE MARTYRED, by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSONPoet AnalysisPoet's Biography
First Line: O sacrificial throng whose live Last Line: Upon your bier are laid. Alternate Author Name(s): Tremaine, John Subject(s): Martyrs
O sacrificial throng whose lives Build up the yawning deeps O'er which we pass reflectively To broader lights and sweeps.
Know, that we hold with reverence The signal price you paid, And all our trophies, one by one, Upon your bier are laid.
