We Are The Music-Makers
ISC Class 12 Poems
ISC Boards Class 12 English Poem
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
World-losers and world-forsakers,
Upon whom the pale moon gleams;
Yet we are the movers and shakers,
Of the world forever, it seems.
And out of a fabulous story
We fashion an empire's glory:
One man with a dream, at pleasure,
We, in the ages lying
In the buried past of the earth,
Built Nineveh with our sighing,
And Babel itself with our mirth;
And o'erthrew them with prophesying
To the old of the new world's worth;
For each age is a dream that is dying,
Or one that is coming to birth.
