ON SOUTHEY'S BIRTHDAY, NOV 4, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: No angel borne on whiter wing
Last Line: Show us thy light and point the way.
Subject(s): Birthdays; Southey, Robert (1774-1843)


No Angel borne on whiter wing
Hath visited the sons of men,
Teaching the song they ought to sing
And guiding right the unsteady pen.
Recorded not on earth alone,
O Southey! is thy natal day,
But there where stands the choral throne
Show us thy light and point the way.
