EDWIN MARKHAM, by MARIANNE CLARKE First Line: How edwin markham's wise far-reaching thought Last Line: His shackles fall in field or street or mines. Subject(s): Markham, Edwin (1852-1940) | |||
How Edwin Markham's wise far-reaching thought Illuminates the day and plants new seed Assisting men to corrolate, to heed The keynote principles that Jesus wrought. New trinity, his heart-felt words have brought: Bread ... beauty ... brotherhood, a forward creed; Real poetry! The light of daily need Uplifting good the creeping ages sought His genius framed the challenge, all in tune Above the voice of time in present lines: To lift the yoke of toil and grant the boon United art and literature defines; A Millet paints the man and, late or soon His shackles fall in field or street or mines. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MAN WITHOUT THE HOE by J.
