THE LAST REVEL, by CH'EN TZU-ANG First Line: From silver lamps a thin blue smoke is streaming Last Line: Will never rise again. Alternate Author Name(s): Po-yu | ||||||||
From silver lamps a thin blue smoke is streaming, And golden vases 'mid the feast are gleaming; Now sound the lutes in unison, Within the gates our lives are one. We'll think not of the parting ways As long as dawn delays. When in tall trees the dying moonbeams quiver: When floods of fire efface the Silver River, Then comes the hour when I must seek Lo-Yang beyond the furthest peak. But the warm twilight round us twain Will never rise again. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...COWSLIPS AND LARKS by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES GERONTION by THOMAS STEARNS ELIOT THE BONNIE BLUE FLAG by ANNIE CHAMBERS KETCHUM THE TROOPS by SIEGFRIED SASSOON CHILDHOOD by JENS IMMANUEL BAGGESEN A PASSING OF FAITH by GORDON BOTTOMLEY AFTER A TEMPEST by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT THE CANTERBURY TALES: THE MAN OF LAW'S TALE - THE EPILOGUE by GEOFFREY CHAUCER |
