Welcome, welcome, king' of guests, With thy princely train, With joyful triumphs and with feasts Be welcomed home again. Frolic mirth, The soul of earth, Shall watch for thy delight: Knees shall bend From friend to friend While full cups do thee right And so, great King, good-night. Welcome, welcome as the sun When the night is past: With us the day is now begun: May it for ever last. Such a morn Did ne'er adorn The roses of the East As the North Hath now brought forth: The Northern morn is best; And so, best King, good rest. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A MINOR POET by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET TRANSLUCENT FINGERS by MALCOLM COWLEY DRUMS AND BRASS by DONALD (GRADY) DAVIDSON BONDAGE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE YOUNG WARRIOR by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON ON VIOLET'S WAFERS, SENT ME WHEN I WAS ILL by SIDNEY LANIER THE GUARDIAN OF THE RED DISK (SPOKEN BY A CITIZEN OF MALTA - 1300) by EMMA LAZARUS |
