1 A beaten and a baffled man, A beaten and a baffled man, My life drags lamely day by day, My life drags lamely day by day, Too young to die, too old to plan, Too young to die, too old to plan, In failure grey. In failure grey. The knights ride east, the knights ride west, 2 For ladyes' tokens blithe of cheer, The knights ride east, the knights ride west, Each bound upon some gallant quest; For ladyes' tokens blithe of cheer, While I rust here. Each bound upon some gallant quest; While I rust here. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HEART'S FIRST WORD (2) by ISAAC ROSENBERG A HYMN TO GOD THE FATHER by JOHN DONNE THE FROGS: THE FATAL OIL-FLASK by ARISTOPHANES COMPENSATIONS by CHRISTOPHER BANNISTER THE NURSE'S STORY: THE HAND OF GLORY by RICHARD HARRIS BARHAM |
