I have seen her to-night in a vision, Pour out from her beautiful hands A torrent of music elysian That my innermost self understands. In a whirlpool of harmonic rapture My senses were swept with delight, And my heart, singing loud at its capture, Became her glad captive to-night. With the joy of a sanctified spirit I cling to the glorious dream; And the songI forever shall hear it, And thrill with the throb of its theme! For the trend of its cadence uplifted My mind from the sordid and vile, Till my soul seemed unfettered, and drifted At peace in the dawn of her smile. Oh, those hands so insistent and slender! Would they nestle in mine at repose? Oh, her face, so bewitching, so tender, And sweet as the first fragile rose! Will it ever light up with high pleasure To greet me, to welcome, caress? Would she be my dear love and my treasure? I doubt, in distress. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MISERY AND SPLENDOR by ROBERT HASS THE APPLE TREES AT OLEMA by ROBERT HASS DOUBLE SONNET by ANTHONY HECHT CONDITIONS XXI by ESSEX HEMPHILL CALIFORNIA SORROW: MOUNTAIN VIEW by MARY KINZIE SUPERBIA: A TRIUMPH WITH NO TRAIN by MARY KINZIE COUNSEL TO UNREASON by LEONIE ADAMS TWENTY QUESTIONS by DAVID LEHMAN A BACHELOR'S VALENTINE by RAY CLARKE ROSE |
