A DREAM OF BLUE EYES, by FREDERICK WILLIAM FABER Poet's Biography First Line: I left thee when the midnight bell had tolled Last Line: Where spirits all of blue into my soul did gaze! Subject(s): Eyes | ||||||||
I left thee when the midnight bell had tolled, Full of fresh hopes and feelings: in thine eyes All night perpetual meanings did unfold Quick turns of thought and kindling sympathies. Still those blue eyes looked at me through my sleep, Changed by the power of dreams to fearful things. They bore me far away, where evening flings Her gorgeous blue on Atlas: they did sweep Into the bluer sky, where comets blaze And golden creatures live in starry rays. Onward they went where filmy mist-wreaths creep About the rolling moon; and fell with me Into the sunless caverns of the sea, Where spirits all of blue into my soul did gaze! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BANGLA DESH: 2.
