Make me a heaven; and make me there Many a lesse and greater spheare. Make me the straight, and oblique lines; The Motions, Lations, and the Signes. Make me a Chariot, and a Sun; And let them through a Zodiac run: Next, place me Zones, and Tropicks there; With all the Seasons of the Yeare. Make me a Sun-set; and a Night: And then present the Mornings-light Cloath'd in her Chamlets of Delight. To these, make Clouds to poure downe raine; With weather foule, then faire againe. And when, wise Artist, that thou hast, With all that can be, this heaven grac't; Ah! what is then this curious skie, But onely my Corinna's eye? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DEXTER GORDON: COPENHAGEN/AVERY FISHER HALL by KAREN SWENSON SONG TO THE MEN OF ENGLAND by THOMAS CAMPBELL ULTIMA THULE: DEDICATION by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW TO JOHN KEATS; SONNET by AMY LOWELL SPIRIT WHOSE WORK IS DONE (WASHINGTON CITY, 1865) by WALT WHITMAN THE SUNFISH LAKE ROAD by BEATRICE MARY BILLING JACK FROST AND THE CATY-DID by JOHN GARDINER CALKINS BRAINARD |
