THE CLOISTER, by ISAAC ROSENBERG Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Our eyes no longer sail the tidal streets Last Line: These he has gardened, for they please his eyes. Subject(s): Soldiers' Writings; Women And War | |||
Our eyes no longer sail the tidal streets, Nor harbour where the hours like petals float By sensual treasures glittering through thin walls Of women's eyes and colour's mystery. The roots of our eternal souls were fed On the world's dung and now their blossoms gleam. God gives to glisten in an angel's hair These He has gardened, for they please His eyes. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONG by EDWARD JOSEPH HARRINGTON O'BRIEN SEED-TIME by JOSEPHINE PRESTON PEABODY MISSING by BEATRICE WITTE RAVENEL THE MOTHER (2) by KATHARINE TYNAN NON-COMBATANTS by EVELYN UNDERHILL THE ENDLESS ARMY by GRETCHEN OSGOOD WARREN GERVAIS (KILLED AT THE DARDANELLES) by MARGARET ADELAIDE WILSON A BALLAD OF WHITECHAPEL by ISAAC ROSENBERG |
