THE ANCESTORS, SELECTION, by ADAM MICKIEWICZ Poet's Biography First Line: She is fair as a spirit of light Last Line: Which one harmony weds the same. | |||
She is fair as a spirit of light That floats in the ether on high, And her eye beams as kindly and bright As the sun in the azure-tinged sky. The lips of her lover join hers Like the meeting of flame with flame, And as sweet as the voice of two lutes Which one harmony weds the same. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FATHER'S RETURN by ADAM MICKIEWICZ NEW YEAR'S WISHES by ADAM MICKIEWICZ THE WINDING BANKS OF ERNE; OR, THE EMIGRANT'S ADIEU TO HIS BIRTHPLACE by WILLIAM ALLINGHAM THE FOURTH OF JULY by JOHN PIERPONT AN HYMN OF HEAVENLY LOVE by EDMUND SPENSER |
