Passion of fire that sears my hungry heart Deep with the image of thy shining face, Clothe me in dreams that breathe the magic part Of olden wraiths and many a by-gone grace! Hard to the realms of dim, forgotten days, When first I lived and spent my numbered years, Spirit of mine trips down the garland ways To love-born moments void of earthly fears. In sportive joust I stood thy pledgéd knight, Keeping the faith with my victorious arms, Or when there gleamed the crimson battle light Thy heart of love made easeful war's alarms. Old days are gone, but love renews each age, Letters of gold on God's eternal page. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TAM O' SHANTER by ROBERT BURNS MY AUNT by OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES HUDSON RIVER ANTHOLOGY by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS WILD CHERRY TREE by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN WINTER SONG by ABBIE FARWELL BROWN |
