DREAD, by ROSA MULHOLLAND Poem Explanation Poet's Biography First Line: The world's afire and none to save Alternate Author Name(s): Gilbert, Lady | |||
The world's afire and none to save: Wind howl and rain rave, The world is all a wandering grave! The earth is but a blackened stone Whirling round a greater one, - Frozen sun whose light is done! All the jewels of the east, Gold and silver of the west, Buried are in ruin's breast. Wheel of terror, dreadful ball Black with death, containing all Bodies built since Adam's fall! Now are all the souls were born To your years of night and morn Gathered by an angel's horn. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AMONG THE BOUGHS by ROSA MULHOLLAND IMMORTAL MORNING by ROSA MULHOLLAND LOST BABIES by ROSA MULHOLLAND LOVE AND DEATH by ROSA MULHOLLAND SISTER MARY OF THE LOVE OF GOD by ROSA MULHOLLAND SPIRIT AND DUST by ROSA MULHOLLAND THE FAERY EARL by ROSA MULHOLLAND |
