My Days among the Dead -ROBERT SOUTHEY POEM
M y days among the dead are past around me I behold , whenever these casual eyes are cast the mighty minds of old my never failing friends are they with them I take delight in weal. And seek relief in woe and while I understand and feel how much to them I owe my cheeks have often been bedew'd with tears of thoughtful gratitude. My thoughts are with the Dead, with them I live in long-past years, Their virtues love, their faults condemn, Partake their hopes and fears, And from their lessons seek and find Instruction with an humble mind. My hopes are with the Dead, anon My place with them will be, And I with them shall travel on Through all Futurity; Yet leaving here a name, I trust, That will not perish in the dust Quest ions 1)what is the central idea of the poem 2)who are mighty minds 3)who are the poets friends and how are they never failing 4)explain my cheeks have often been.............gratitude Question...
