COLLINS, by LIONEL PIGOT JOHNSON Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Through glades and glooms! Oh fair! Oh, sad! Last Line: The lovely scenes long past: long past | |||
Through glades and glooms! Oh, fair! Oh, sad! The paths of song, that led through these Through glades and glooms! Oh, fair! Oh, sad! Thy feet, that once were free and glad The paths of song, that led through these To wander beneath Winton trees! Thy feet, that once were free and glad Now in soft shades of sleep they tread To wander beneath Winton trees! By ways and waters of the dead. Now in soft shades of sleep they tread By ways and waters of the dead. There tender Otway walks with thee, And Browne, not strange among the dead: There tender Otway walks with thee, By solemn sounding waters ye, By willow vallies, gently led, And Browne, not strange among the dead: By solemn sounding waters ye, Think on old memories of her, Courtly and cloistral Winchester. By willow vallies, gently led, Think on old memories of her, Courtly and cloistral Winchester. So memory's mingled measure flows, In shadowy dream and twilight trance: Past death, to dawn of manhood, goes So memory's mingled measure flows, In shadowy dream and twilight trance: Thy spirit's unforgetting glance; Through glades and glooms! And hails at last Past death, to dawn of manhood, goes Thy spirit's unforgetting glance; The lovely scenes long past: long past. Through glades and glooms! And hails at last The lovely scenes long past: long past. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CHURCH OF A DREAM; TO BERNHARD BERENSON by LIONEL PIGOT JOHNSON THE DARK ANGEL by LIONEL PIGOT JOHNSON A FRIEND by LIONEL PIGOT JOHNSON CELTIC SPEECH by LIONEL PIGOT JOHNSON ENTHUSIASTS by LIONEL PIGOT JOHNSON FRIENDS: 4 by LIONEL PIGOT JOHNSON HILL AND VALE by LIONEL PIGOT JOHNSON LOVE'S WAYS by LIONEL PIGOT JOHNSON MYSTIC AND CAVALIER by LIONEL PIGOT JOHNSON |
