FOUR FIERY STEEDS IMPATIENT OF THE REIN, by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Last Line: Gaze on the moon by parting clouds revealed Subject(s): Horses; Lake District, England | ||||||||
Four fiery steeds impatient of the rein Whirled us o'er sunless ground beneath a sky As void of sunshine, when, from that wide plain, Clear tops of far-off mountains we descry Like a Sierra of cerulean Spain, All light and lustre. Did no heart reply? Yes, there was One;''"for One, asunder fly The thousand links of that ethereal chain; And green vales open out, with grove and field, And the fair front of many a happy Home; Such tempting spots as into vision come While Soldiers, weary of the arms they wield And sick at heart of strifeful Christendom, Gaze on the moon by parting clouds revealed. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A JEWISH FAMILY; IN A SMALL VALLEY OPPOSITE ST.
