AT LAST, by KATRINA TRASK Poet Analysis First Line: Beyond the bourn of mortal death and birth Last Line: "the lord of life be praised! I, too, have died." Alternate Author Name(s): Trask, Kate Nichols | |||
BEYOND the bourn of mortal death and birth, Two lovers -- parted sorrowing on earth -- Met in the land of dim and ghostly space. Wondering, he gazed on her illumined face: "Alone you bear the burden now," he said, "Of bondage; mine is ended, -- I am dead." With rapturous note of victory, she cried, "The Lord of Life be praised! I, too, have died." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ODE ON THE POPULAR SUPERSTITIONS OF THE HIGHLANDS OF SCOTLAND by WILLIAM COLLINS (1721-1759) THE MODERN MAJOR-GENERAL, FR.
