Reflection on Sonnet Eighteen
(From the magazine of Grosvenor High school, Belfast) 'So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this and this gives life to thee' If thus our immortality Be weaved upon a printed page, That in the humour of men's minds Our lives move deathless Down the years of man's dominion here. Can then the characters thy pen empowered Who bred mid passions of thy soul Whose little era was embowered within thee Have a relationship with God superior to our own? Ah no - they pass with time but we Move on to reap what we have sown. |
