TO you who dwell withdrawn, above The world's tumultuous strife, And, in an atmosphere of love, Have triumphed over life; To you whose heart has kept so young Beneath the weight of years, I give these passion flowers of song, Still wet with undried tears. You too have trod that stony path Which steeply winds afar, And seen, through nights of storm and wrath, The bright and Morning Star; Where, shining o'er the Alps of time On valleys full of mist, It beckons us to peaks sublime, Oh, brave Idealist. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MY ORCHA'D IN LINDEN LEA by WILLIAM BARNES TO JOHN DONNE (1) by BEN JONSON THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 15 by OMAR KHAYYAM FOOTLIGHT MOTIFS: 4.
