ORNAMENTS, by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Bring from the east, bring from the west Last Line: To the human heart, feverish and beating, below? Alternate Author Name(s): L. E. L.; Maclean, Letitia | ||||||||
BRING from the east, bring from the west, Flowers for the hair, gems for the vest; Bring the rich silks that are shining with gold, Wrought in rich broidery on every fold. Bring ye the perfumes that breathe on the rose, Such as the summer of Egypt bestows; Bring the white pearls from the depths of the sea -- They are fair like the neck where their lustre will be. Such are the offerings that now will be brought, But can they bring peace to the turmoil of thought? Can they one moment of quiet bestow To the human heart, feverish and beating, below? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FELICIA HEMANS by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON THE CASTLE OF CHILLON by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON THE FACTORY; 'TIS AN ACCURSED THING! by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON THE FEMALE CONVICT by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON THE MARRIAGE VOW by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON A CHILD SCREENING A DOVE FROM A HAWK, BY STEWARDSON by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON A COMPARISON by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON A GIRL AT HER DEVOTIONS, BY NEWTON by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON A HISTORY OF THE LYRE by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON A LADY'S BEAUTY by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON |
