Lanier very rarely wrote this well. When he did, the results were spell-binding: this poem, " The Marshes of Glynn, " and " The Revenge of Hamish."

That was a really strong poem that really flowed well together. Great poem!

I like this poem, it's quite good

I have these words which I believe also belong to this poem. Is this correct? It would have to be the beginning of the poem. 'Mary walked among the birch trees questioning each one. 'Little birch trees, little white souls, Have you seen my son? ' None made answer, none knew of him......

Dear Lecie: There certainly is a biblical aspect to this poem of Lanier's. As a matter of fact, it was made into a hymn and can be found, I believe, in the 1940 Hymnal of the Episcopal Church (PECUSA, not ECUSA) . It is a beautiful expression of Christ's sacrifice and final victory for us. Jerry (*___~)

I see a Biblical imagery in this very unique poem about Salvation-Christ. Do you see this too? Lecie :)
