REGRETS. AFTER JOACHIM DU BELLAY (2), by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Happy the man, like wise ulysses tried Last Line: And the soft air of anjou than the sea! Alternate Author Name(s): Dobson, Austin | |||
HAPPY the man, like wise Ulysses tried, Or him of yore that gat the Fleece of Gold, Who comes at last, from travels manifold, Among his kith and kindred to abide! When shall I see, from my small hamlet-side, Once more the blue and curling smoke unrolled? When the poor boundaries of my house behold -- Poor, but to me as any province wide? Ah, more than these imperious piles of Rome Laugh the low portals of my boyhood's home! More than their marble must its slate-roof be! More than the Tiber's flood my Loire is still! More than the Palatine my native hill, And the soft air of Anjou than the sea! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A GAGE D'AMOUR by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON A GARDEN SONG by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON ARS VICTRIX (IMITATED FROM THEOPHILE GAUTIER) by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON BEFORE SEDAN by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON DORA VERSUS ROSE by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON GROWING GRAY by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW; IN MEMORIAM by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON IN AFTER DAYS; RONDEAU by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON THE BALLAD OF PROSE AND RHYME by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON WHEN THERE IS PEACE by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON |
