THE PALACE, by SAMUEL VALENTINE COLE First Line: She loved the palace that by slow degrees Last Line: A golden glory shining through my tears! | |||
SHE loved the palace that by slow degrees Arose, as from the common dust around, Arch over arch, and dome o'er dome of sound,— A miracle of the master of the keys; She loved Abt Vogler's palace more than these We stare at; for, when he had ceased, she found It did not crumble back into the ground, But lived as stars do, and the hills, and seas. Ah! little she dreamed what palace, day by day, The Master of Life was building through the years From her fair deeds—never to pass away: Silence has fallen, but her life appears Triumphant now o'er time and time's decay,— A golden glory shining through my tears! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A POET'S CENTENARY by SAMUEL VALENTINE COLE A SONG OF BATTLE by SAMUEL VALENTINE COLE A VOICE by SAMUEL VALENTINE COLE AD MUSAM by SAMUEL VALENTINE COLE ALL SOUL'S EVE by SAMUEL VALENTINE COLE AN APOSTOLIC MAN by SAMUEL VALENTINE COLE AN EAGLE-SPIRIT by SAMUEL VALENTINE COLE AN OLD SAW by SAMUEL VALENTINE COLE CONSCIENCE by SAMUEL VALENTINE COLE COOPERATION by SAMUEL VALENTINE COLE |
