STARS ABOVE THE SEA, by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS Poet's Biography First Line: Far, far away one mystery greets Last Line: But we can see the stars. Subject(s): Stars | ||||||||
Far, far away one mystery greets Another vast and high, The infinite of waters meets The infinite of sky. The stars are singing hymns of calm Above the sea's unrest; Can ever that majestic psalm Dwell in the ocean's breast? What far horizon dim and low The sweet solution finds, Where earth's tumultuous yearnings know The peace of heavenly minds? And still the sky's imperial grace The tossing ocean mars; We cannot see the meeting-place, But we can see the stars. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE EPIC STARS by ROBINSON JEFFERS HYMN TO THE STARS by GEORGE LAWRENCE ANDREWS CHRISTMAS TREE by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS CLEMATIS MONTANA by MADELINE DEFREES THE UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE by JAMES GALVIN TO SEE THE STARS IN DAYLIGHT by JAMES GALVIN A BATTLE SONG (WRITTEN IN THE WORLD WAR) by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS |
