QUEEN OF THE VALLEY, by ROBERT SOUTHEY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Thou art beautiful, queen of the valley Last Line: Queen of the valley. Subject(s): Beauty; Courts & Courtiers | ||||||||
THOU art beautiful, queen of the valley; Thy walls, like silver, sparkle to the sun; Melodious wave thy groves, thy garden-sweets enrich the pleasant air, Upon the lake lie the long shadows of thy towers, And high in heaven thy temple pyramids arise! Long may'st thou flourish in thy beauty, Long prosper beneath the righteous conqueror, Who conquers to redeem. Long years of peace and happiness await thy lord and thee, Queen of the valley. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BOTHWELL: PART 4 by WILLIAM EDMONSTOUNE AYTOUN IN PHARAOH'S TOMB by HAYDEN CARRUTH JUSTICE LISTENS AT THE GATES OF BEAUTY by AIME CESAIRE FOR THE INVESTITURE by CECIL DAY LEWIS ELEGY ASKING THAT IT BE THE LAST; FOR INGRID ERHARDT, 1951-1971 by NORMAN DUBIE MY SISTER, THE QUEEN by EDWARD FIELD L,ENVOI: IN OUR TIME by ERNEST HEMINGWAY VASHTI by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON BISHOP BRUNO by ROBERT SOUTHEY |
