O Merlin in your crystal cave Deep in the diamond of the day, Will there ever be a singer Whose music will smooth away The furrow drawn by Adam's finger Across the memory and the wave? Or a runner who'll outrun Man's long shadow driving on, Break through the gate of memory And hang the apple on the tree? Will your magic ever show The sleeping bride shut in her bower, The day wreathed in its mound of snow and Time locked in his tower? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SILVER TRADE by ARTHUR SZE THE BALLAD OF JUDAS ISCARIOT by ROBERT WILLIAMS BUCHANAN THE BALLAD OF CHRISTMAS by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE THE MODERN JUDAS by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE RETRIBUTION by WILMA CRITTENDEN HEART'S COUNSEL by HASSOLDT DAVIS FRAGMENT OF A CHARACTER OF JACOB TONSON (HIS PUBLISHER) by JOHN DRYDEN |
