A poem by Franklin P. Adams

"Oh Man!"

________________________________________________
Title:     "Oh Man!"
Author: Franklin P. Adams [More Titles by Adams]

Man hath harnessed the lightning;
Man hath soared to the skies;
Mountain and hill are clay to his will;
Skilful he is, and wise.
Sea to sea hath he wedded,
Canceled the chasm of space,
Given defeat to cold and heat;
Splendour is his, and grace.

His are the topless turrets;
His are the plumbless pits;
Earth is slave to his architrave,
Heaven is thrall to his wits.
And so in the golden future,
He who hath dulled the storm
(As said above) may make a glove
That'll keep my fingers warm.





[The end]
Franklin P. Adams's poem: "Oh Man!"
