FROM this fair home behold on either side The restful mountains or the restless sea: So the warm sheltering walls of life divide Time and its tides from still eternity. Look on the waves: their stormy voices teach That not on earth may toil and struggle cease. Look on the mountains: better far than speech Their silent promise of eternal peace. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ACCIDENT IN ART by RICHARD HOVEY SONNET PREFIXED TO 'NENNIO, OR A TREATISE OF NOBILITY' by EDMUND SPENSER THE WRITER'S JOURNAL: POSSESSION by BAYARD TAYLOR DAY AND NIGHT SONGS by WILLIAM ALLINGHAM FULL-CIRCLE by MAXWELL ANDERSON |
