This moment yearning and thoughtful sitting alone, It seems to me there are other men in other lands yearning and thoughtful, It seems to me I can look over and behold them in Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Or far, far away, in China, or in Russia or Japan, talking other dialects, And it seems to me if I could know those men I should become attached to them as I do to men in my own lands, O I know we should be brethren and lovers, I know I should be happy with them. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A MENDOCINO MEMORY by EDWIN MARKHAM RHAPSODY ON A WINDY NIGHT by THOMAS STEARNS ELIOT ON COMMUNISTS; EPIGRAM by EBENEZER ELLIOTT THE SECRET OF THE SEA by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW OF TREASON by MARCUS VALERIUS MARTIALIS TO THE LADY IN THE CHIMSETTE WITH BLACK BUTTONS by NATHANIEL PARKER WILLIS |
