AND THEN I SAW A MAID, by HANIEL (CLARK) LONG Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: There is a madness out of wonder born Last Line: Of decking lovers for their golden day. | |||
There is a madness out of wonder born, And out of madness comes a parching thirst; So I who wandered stricken and forlorn Was like a dreamer with his dream accursed. And still I dreamt, and thought my heart would burst With the great wonder of this world to share. And then I saw a maid, that she was fair. And wonder now is budding like the rose, And wonder now is waxing like the sea, And what may come no necromancer knows, For what has never been, at last shall be. Eternal lips have leaned to whisper me The song which makes a deathless world the way Of decking lovers for their golden day. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A SEA MAIDEN by HANIEL (CLARK) LONG AFTER A CITY WINTER by HANIEL (CLARK) LONG AGAINST THE RISING MOON by HANIEL (CLARK) LONG APRIL, 1917 by HANIEL (CLARK) LONG ASCUTNEY by HANIEL (CLARK) LONG BARAKEESH by HANIEL (CLARK) LONG CONFIDENCES by HANIEL (CLARK) LONG |
