Andre Norton's Poems

Unfortunately Andre Norton did not do very much in the world of Poems.

There are only 4 poems known to this site to be published outside of an Andre Norton Book.

 

These 3 poems were first published in one very rare publication called Omniumgathum,

 

They are Cats, The Last Cohort & Song of the Barbarian Swordsman

 

And then there is:

"Freedom" is one of our favorite pieces by Andre.
Done in 1943 and to this day it is still relevant.


Some fellow fans and collectors found these little gems.

This is Freedom--
America bought it--for a price--
From scalping knives and red war hatchets
In ragged clearings about burned cabins.

This is Freedom--
America bought it--for a price--
With long rifle and starvation
At Brandywine and Saratoga,
Valley Forge and Yorktown.

This is Freedom--
America bought it--for a price--
With frigates' broadsides
To proclaim seas free to all nations.

This is Freedom--
America bought it--for a price--
With bayonets at Chateau Thierry and
Belleau Wood
And in the shattered forests of the Argonne.

This is Freedom--
America buys it--at a price--
In the air and distant seas
And on the beaches of ravaged lands,
With our hands and bodies and those minds
Trained to act and work
That this Freedom shall not perish from this earth!
