PEACE, by ANN YEARSLEY First Line: What howlings wake me! - my fair olives die! Last Line: "all that is worthy man, is found with me and love." Alternate Author Name(s): Cromartie, Ann Subject(s): Peace; War | |||
"What howlings wake me!—my fair olives die! "Storms shake my bow'r, and drive me to the plain.— "Ah! direful Anarchy, thy chariots fly "O'er worlds of weeping babes, o'er worlds of hero's slain! "Order! Bright angel down yon rainbow glide! "From the mild bosom of my God appear! "O'er Gallia spread thy snowy pinions wide— "O! cool the fever'd mind! and whisper to Despair. "Envenomn'd and unwelcome war! will man, "Long nurse thy furies or prolong thy stay? "Will not his fine, reflective spirit scan "Those desolations that have mark'd thy way? "Yes!—He shall wearied leave thy crimes, and prove, "All that is worthy MAN, is found with ME and LOVE." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...I AM YOUR WAITER TONIGHT AND MY NAME IS DIMITRI by ROBERT HASS MITRAILLIATRICE by ERNEST HEMINGWAY RIPARTO D'ASSALTO by ERNEST HEMINGWAY WAR VOYEURS by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA THE DREAM OF WAKING by RANDALL JARRELL THE SURVIVOR AMONG GRAVES by RANDALL JARRELL SO MANY BLOOD-LAKES by ROBINSON JEFFERS CLIFTON HILL, SELECTION by ANN YEARSLEY FAMILIAR POEM FROM NISA TO FULVIA OF THE VALE by ANN YEARSLEY |
