SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 107, by BLISS CARMAN Poet's Biography First Line: What lies across my lonely bed Last Line: The rose of beauty of all time? Subject(s): Beauty | ||||||||
What lies across my lonely bed Like tropic moonlight soft and pale? What deeper gold is that outspread Across my pillow like a veil? What sudden fragrances are these That voyage across the gloom to me, With faint delirious ecstasies From fairy gardens over sea? What rustles in the curtained dusk With the remembrance of a sigh, As if a breath of wandering air Should stir the poppies going by? Lover of beauty, can it be That from some far off foreign clime The sumptuous night has brought to thee The Rose of Beauty of all time? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN DIVINELY SUPERFLUOUS BEAUTY by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE BEAUTY OF THINGS by ROBINSON JEFFERS HOPE IS NOT FOR THE WISE by ROBINSON JEFFERS LIFE FROM THE LIFELESS by ROBINSON JEFFERS REARMAMENT by ROBINSON JEFFERS SHANE ONEILLS CAIRN by ROBINSON JEFFERS A MORE ANCIENT MARINER by BLISS CARMAN |
