On your last journey, why did you set out at dusk? You, who had always loved the dawn, Ne'er venturing forth till night was gone, -- Then why, that last, last time, did you depart at dusk? Or, in his radiant exit, did the King of Day Inspire you with courage and gently helm You to a fairer dawn beyond the realm Of earth? -- for, unafraid, at dusk you went away. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LITTLE FIRE IN THE WOODS by HAYDEN CARRUTH WINTER'S EVENING HYMN TO MY FIRE by JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL THE CRUSADERS' MARCH by WILLIAM EDMONSTOUNE AYTOUN BRUCE: IN PRAISE OF FREEDOM by JOHN BARBOUR THE GERMAN BAND by EARL DERR BIGGERS |
