HELEN'S TOWER, here I stand, Dominant over sea and land. Son's love built me, and I hold Mother's love in letter'd gold. Love is in and out of time, I am mortal stone and lime. Would my granite girth were strong As either love, to last as long! I should wear my crown entire To and thro' the Doomsday fire, And be found of angel eyes In earth's recurring Paradise. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE AWAKENING by EDGAR LEE MASTERS LINES WRITTEN IN KENSINGTON GARDENS by MATTHEW ARNOLD THE HOUND OF HEAVEN by FRANCIS THOMPSON THE ITALICS ARE RICHARD GIFFORD'S by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS |
