Allen Tate - More Sonnets At Christmas III

2014-11-10 5 Dailymotion

Give me this day a faith not personal, <br />As follows: The American people fully armed <br />With assurance policies, righteous and harmed, <br />Battle the world of which they're not at all. <br />That lying boy of ten who stood in the hall, <br />His hat in hand (thus by his father charmed: <br />'You may be President'), was not alarmed <br />Nor even left uneasy by his fall. <br /> <br />Nobody said that he could be a plumber, <br />Carpenter, clerk, bus-driver, bombardier; <br />Let little boys go into violent slumber, <br />Aegean squall and squalor where their fear <br />Is of an enemy in remote oceans <br />Unstalked by Christ: these are the better notions.<br /><br />Allen Tate<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/more-sonnets-at-christmas-iii/
