ENIGMA: 18, by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL Poet's Biography First Line: Ye have seen me in the skies Last Line: While your lips my name will tell. Subject(s): Arches | ||||||||
YE have seen me in the skies, Yet beneath the ground I rise; Sometimes far above your head, Sometimes deep below your tread. Where the forest boughs entwine, Baffling still the gay sunshine; Gaze aloft, and you will see In myself their tracery. Laughing eye and dimpling smile May be even me awhile; Playful words, like javelins thrown, As myself you often own. Many a sunny stream ye trace, Rippling in my calm embrace; Still I watch the secret shrine Of the rich and ruddy wine. Nave, and choir, and aisle, I trow, All to me their glories owe; Even a seraph form by me, Greater, fairer yet may be. Many a loved one may be laid In my sadly solemn shade; On your brow I now may dwell, While your lips my name will tell. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CONSECRATION HYMN by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL I DID THIS FOR THEE!
