FOR all the beryl, pearl and chrysoprase Wherewith the summer binds her brow; The bleachéd raiment, meet for seraphim, That April hangs upon the bough; For autumn mornings when the very stones Are steeped in amethystine light; For lonely contemplations that endear The silent winter night; For strength of youth, and charity of age; For this life's myrrh and euphrasy, And those "sublime attractions of the grave"— Gloria Tibi Domine! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...APPROACH OF WINTER by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS NIGHT, FR.
