TO EFFIE WALLER, by PETER CLAY First Line: Far up among the mountains Last Line: "to charm us with the poet's mystic art." Subject(s): Smith, Effie Waller (1879-1960) | ||||||||
"Far up among the mountains, Where rivers leave their fountains, And happy birds send forth their merry thrills; There dwells a little poet, Though few there be who know it, Whose voice is an echo from the hills. "You may not like her station, For she is not Caucasian, Yet God with music touched the singer's heart; And thoughts in liquid measure Doth flow out like a treasure, To charm us with the poet's mystic art." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SACRIFICE by RALPH WALDO EMERSON COUNTING THE BEATS by ROBERT RANKE GRAVES SOMETHING BEYOND by MARY CLEMMER AMES HUDSON SING-SONG; A NURSERY RHYME BOOK: 90 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI AMERICA by JAMES MONROE WHITFIELD TO A SHADE by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS WELCOME, LITTLE STRANGER (BY A DISPLACED THREE-YEAR-OLD) by CHARLES FOLLEN ADAMS |
