TOWARD THE MILLENIUM, by FRANCES HORODAS First Line: They come to sip, they come to trip Last Line: The living and dead as it bursts overhead. Subject(s): Death; Missiles; Dead, The; Guided Missiles; Ballistic Missiles | |||
THEY come to sip, they come to trip Fantasticly at Tango-Tea— Waxen floor is glistening, Perfumed throng is listening To hear a strain and dance again: Butterflies, they flit and glide; Life is fleet with Joy astride. The horrible stench of dead in the trench; An air-rending whistle; the tune of a missile Swift tearing through space a victim to trace; And shrapnel, death spewing, is ever reviewing The living and dead as it bursts overhead. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INCOGNITA OF RAPHAEL by WILLIAM ALLEN BUTLER AT THE TAVERN by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR EROS (1) by RALPH WALDO EMERSON TWO WITCHES: 1.
