FEAR, by LANGDON ELWYN MITCHELL Poet's Biography First Line: There is a sound I would not hear Last Line: Should burst in bloom -- should blossoms bear. Alternate Author Name(s): Varley, John Philip | |||
THERE is a sound I would not hear, Although it music's self might be; Lest in my breast a crystal sphere Might burst, might break for melody. There is a face i would not see Tho' like the springtime it were fair; Lest love that was a barren tree Should burst in bloom -- should blossoms bear. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SWEETS THAT DIE by LANGDON ELWYN MITCHELL THE WAYSIDE VIRGIN by LANGDON ELWYN MITCHELL TO ONE BEING OLD by LANGDON ELWYN MITCHELL WRITTEN AT THE END OF A BOOK by LANGDON ELWYN MITCHELL THE NIGHT MOTHS by EDWIN MARKHAM THE PAUPER'S DEATH-BED by CAROLINE ANNE BOWLES SOUTHEY SABBATH MORNING by L.
