HAIL to thee, with all good cheer! Though men say thou liest here Dead, And mourn, all uncomforted. By thy faith refining mine, Life still lights those eyes of thine, Clear As the Autumn atmosphere. Ever still thy smile appears As the rainbow of thy tears Bent O'er thy love's vast firmament. Thou endurest -- shalt endure, Purely, as thy song is pure. Hear Thus my hail: Good cheer! good cheer! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BLIND BOY by COLLEY CIBBER SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: AMANDA BARKER by EDGAR LEE MASTERS SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: HARRY WILMANS by EDGAR LEE MASTERS ON REFUSAL OF AID BETWEEN NATIONS by DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI THE LITTLE REBEL by JOSEPH ASHBY-STERRY IF THE WORLD WERE RIGHT by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON |
