HEnce clouded lookes, hence briny teares Hence eye, that sorrowe's livery weares. What though a while Apollo please To visit the Antipodes? Yet hee returnes, and with his light Expells, what he hath caus'd, the night. What though the spring vanish away And with it the earth's forme decay? Yet att's new birth it will restore What it's departure tooke before. What though wee mist our absent King Erewhile? Great Charles is come agin, And, with his presence makes us know, The gratitude to Heaven wee owe. So doth a cruell storme impart And teach us Palinurus' art. So from salt flouds, wept by our eyes, A joyfull Venus doth arise. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WYNKEN, BLYNKEN AND NOD by EUGENE FIELD THE DREAM OF EUGENE ARAM, THE MURDERER by THOMAS HOOD FOR AN ALLEGORICAL DANCE OF WOMEN (BY ANDREA MANTEGNA) by DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI DEJECTION by GRACE E.
