Her heart is fragrant, garden place Where beauty breathes her consummate grace. Her heart is fragrant: Flowers bloom And vagrant breezes bear perfume; On ancient boughs brown birds sing, Beneath the trees moon-shadows fling. Her heart is earth, fertile fire Where roots the red rose of her desire! When dusk descends and dewdrops fall, Walk Thou, O God, within her call. Despatch white angels to assuage Her final fear, Thy light presage Beyond. -- Her heart with tenderness Dispends sustenance of loveliness. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LISBON PACKET by GEORGE GORDON BYRON THE PLOUGH; A LANDSCAPE IN BERKSHIRE by RICHARD HENGIST (HENRY) HORNE A CROWNED POET by ANNE REEVE ALDRICH TEMPORALL SUCCESS by JOSEPH BEAUMONT THE BEAUTIFUL BEESHAREEN BOY by MATHILDE BLIND THE WEDDING FEAST: 5 by ANNA HEMPSTEAD BRANCH |
