LEGACY, by IDA COLE BARTLATT First Line: No moonlit pearls or rubies' frozen fire Last Line: Your simple faith showed me the light, the way. | |||
No moonlit pearls or rubies' frozen fire, Or the black-gold of oilwells by the sea, Is your bequeathal—but the strong desire To follow you through God's eternity. No wisdom of the sages did you teach me, No magic lore, or stoic's proud display: Your kindly deeds stretched out like hands to reach Your simple faith showed me the light, the way. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BALLAD OF BAZILE BORGNE: L'ENVOI by IDA COLE BARTLATT UNDER THE WHARF by IDA COLE BARTLATT UTOPIA by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON EVE SPEAKS by LOUIS UNTERMEYER WIDOW MALONE by CHARLES JAMES LEVER THE SPIRIT OF POETRY by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW JUDGE NOT by ADELAIDE ANNE PROCTER THE PRINCESS: SONG by ALFRED TENNYSON |
