AERIAL ROCK - WHOSE SOLITARY BROW, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Last Line: Of golden sunset, ere it fade and die
Subject(s): Nature


Af'rial Rock''"whose solitary brow
From this low threshold daily meets my sight;
When I step forth to hail the morning light;
Or quit the stars with a lingering farewell''"how
Shall Fancy pay to thee a grateful vow?
How, with the Muse's aid, her love attest?
''"By planting on thy naked head the crest
Of an imperial Castle, which the plough
Of ruin shall not touch. Innocent scheme!
That doth presume no more than to supply
A grace the sinuous vale and roaring stream
Want, through neglect of hoar Antiquity.
Rise, then, ye votive Towers! and catch a gleam
Of golden sunset, ere it fade and die.
