LINES, by LEON DIERX First Line: The gods are deaf. Heaven sees us not Last Line: Nor grave nor bullet solace bring. | |||
THE gods are deaf. Heaven sees us not; But our souls immortal be, Earth gapes: ah! whither do they flee? Is further grief to be their lot? Yes! love is sweet, but soon doth cease; Vows fleeting are as wind that blows; False is the heart and weary grows. The moss rests on the tomb in peace-- Life short; each day seems lingering; Our spirits, whither do they tend? Alas! their woes shall never end, Nor grave nor bullet solace bring. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HOME FROM THE PARTY by LEON DIERX THE VISION OF EVE by LEON DIERX THE TOURNAMENT by SIDNEY LANIER THE OLD ENEMY by SARA TEASDALE SONNETS FROM THE PORTUGUESE: 39 by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING HOW WE BEAT THE FAVOURITE by ADAM LINDSAY GORDON SHERIDAN AT CEDAR CREEK by HERMAN MELVILLE WILD WEATHER by KATHARINE LEE BATES |
