SAT EST VIXISSE, by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Others there have been of the great ones dead Last Line: Thanked life for life. Alternate Author Name(s): Dobson, Austin | |||
OTHERS there have been of the great Ones dead Who still met Fortune with uplifted head, Still to the blackest morn, Returning scorn for scorn; Others there were from whom no sorest fate Could wring one cry of misery or hate, Faring, with set lips prest, Silent, towards their rest; But thou, as dauntless, as unvanquished, thou, With equal mind, and with unclouded brow, Spared'st not to welcome still The morrow, good or ill; And hastening forward with unslackened pace Still to the Unknown turned a cheery face, Then, at the end of strife, Thanked Life for life. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A GAGE D'AMOUR by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON A GARDEN SONG by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON ARS VICTRIX (IMITATED FROM THEOPHILE GAUTIER) by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON BEFORE SEDAN by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON DORA VERSUS ROSE by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON GROWING GRAY by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW; IN MEMORIAM by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON IN AFTER DAYS; RONDEAU by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON THE BALLAD OF PROSE AND RHYME by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON WHEN THERE IS PEACE by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON |
