Concord supreme takes heavenly control As flaming magic fills the sunset west And steeps the world in beauty, floods the soul Beyond all scope of utterance to attest. Ocean is soothed to silence, man to rest, The colors dim and fade into the night, The enfolding universe is dream possessed, Star outposts take their vigil infinite. The quietude of stilled waters holds the sea, Soft winds caress and plashing tides intone, All unrest calms to vast serenity And peace ineffible assumes its own. In darkling hush the spirit, freed, afar Soars, kin to God, a tiny spark of star. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THOUGHTS OF PHENA AT NEWS OF HER DEATH by THOMAS HARDY THE PASSIONATE SHEPHERD TO HIS LOVE by CHRISTOPHER MARLOWE FOR 'OUR LADY OF THE ROCKS' (BY LEONARDO DA VINCI) by DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI BASE DETAILS by SIEGFRIED SASSOON SONG OF THE ANGELS AT THE NATIVITY by NAHUM TATE THE OLD OAKEN BUCKET by SAMUEL WOODWORTH VARIUM ET MUTABILE by THOMAS WYATT |
