REFLEXIONS: 3. IN TWO POETS by ALICE MEYNELL

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

First Line: A MIRROR FACED A MIRROR: O THY WORD
Last Line: THOSE VISITING THOUGHTS OF THINE.
Subject(s): POETRY & POETS;

AMIRROR faced a mirror: O thy word,
Thou lord of images, did lodge in me,
Locked to my heart, homing from home, a bird,
A carrier, bound for thee.

Thy migratory greatness, greater far
For that return, returns; now grow divine
By endlessness my visiting thoughts, that are
Those visiting thoughts of thine.
