Unto the blooms of the mystical garden of solace, Unto the boles of the boundless garden of peace, -- Shut from the rumor of earth's loud pleasures and follies, -- Bourne where earth's passionate discords dwindle and cease, -- Where the fountain of life, more vast than the cup of the ocean, Is brimming the souls of men with its quickening potion, -- Thither I send my drooping battle-scarred soul; Knowing that after one golden hour of ease, -- With the lilt of creation's dawn in its every motion, -- Back shall it wing to me, masterful, buoyant, whole. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WELCOME by THOMAS OSBORNE DAVIS WILD SWANS by EDNA ST.
