When I look into your eyes, I feel the mystic, dreamy, subtle charm Of a wonder world. I sense the muse of the woodland nymphs, The moods and ecstasies of angel realms, And the delight of busy fairy hands. I see love clothed in radiant forms, Myriad-colored cloaks of celestial splendor -- Shining garbs of true realities Untouched by man's much thinking; While the softer tones of your winged lyre Border in pastel shades a path you've made To the ever-flowing fount of truth, Of wisdom, and of life abundant, free -- Beckoning me on to quaff Of the naked bliss of eternity, Where in His fullness God dwells. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AN ANATOMY OF THE WORLD: THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY by JOHN DONNE SACRIFICE by RALPH WALDO EMERSON THE ANNOYER by NATHANIEL PARKER WILLIS THE VIOLET by ALEXANDER ANDERSON REMEMBER WITH A SONG by STEWART ATKINS LOVE POSTPONED by RUTH FITCH BARTLETT PSALM 49 by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE |
