Darting his rays the sun now glorious rides, And from his path fell darkness quick divides; Vapour dissolves and shrinks at his approach, It dares not on his blazing path encroach; Down droops the flow'ret, -- and his burning ray Scorches the workmen o'er the new-mown hay. Oh! lamp of Heav'n, pursue thy glorious course, Nor till gray twilight, aught abate thy force. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONNET: TO HOMER by JOHN KEATS ON VENUS ARISING FROM THE SEA by ANTIPATER OF SIDON PSALM 8; AUGUST 14, 1653 by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE KASSANDRA PROPHESIES by GORDON BOTTOMLEY DANTE AND ARIOSTO by THOMAS EDWARD BROWN TO EACH HIS DREAM by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON |
