IN THE PINEWOODS, by EVA GORE-BOOTH Poet's Biography First Line: Here the white stars brood high above the austere pines Last Line: And the soul of the world grows one with the lips that pity and pray. Alternate Author Name(s): Selina | |||
HERE the white stars brood high above the austere pines, And the long pine stems seem to gather up the shadowy stream Of the earth's beauty, all her flowing curves and rapturous lines, Folded together and lifted up in a long ecstatic dream. Here in the silent wood Beauty and Peace join hands at last, And all the wars of the world have shrivelled and fallen away, For the winds of an Unknown Will are blowing out of the vast, And the soul of the world grows one with the lips that pity and pray. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A MOMENT'S INSIGHT by EVA GORE-BOOTH ON VIEWING A STATUE OF DAVID by EVA GORE-BOOTH LOVE IN TWILIGHT by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET |
