SOME die singing, and some die swinging, And weel mot a' they be: Some die playing, and some die praying, And I wot sae winna we, my dear, And I wot sae winna, we. Some die sailing, and some die wailing, And some die fair and free: Some die flyting, and some die fighting, But I for a fause love's fee, my dear, But I for a fause love's fee. Some die laughing, and some die quaffing, And some die high on tree: Some die spinning, and some die sinning, But faggot and fire for ye, my dear, Faggot and fire for ye. Some die weeping, and some die sleeping, And some die under sea: Some die ganging, and some die hanging, And a twine of a tow for me, my dear, A twine of a tow for me. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INDIAN EMPEROR: SONG by JOHN DRYDEN RUPERT BROOKE by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON THE WILD DUCK'S NEST by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH BEAUTY AND BEAUTY by RUPERT BROOKE THE PARIAH by JAMES EDWIN CAMPBELL LOVE GIVEN OVER by ABRAHAM COWLEY |
