SONGS, by RICHARD HENRY STODDARD Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: How are songs begot and bred? Last Line: Nature and the poet's mind. Subject(s): Singing & Singers; Songs | |||
How are songs begot and bred? How do golden measures flow? From the heart, or from the head? Happy Poet, let me know. Tell me first how folded flowers Bud and bloom in vernal bowers; How the south wind shapes its tune, The harper, he, of June. None may answer, none may know, Winds and flowers come and go, And the selfsame canons bind Nature and the Poet's mind. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE APOLLO TRIO by CONRAD AIKEN BAD GIRL SINGING by MARK JARMAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 4 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 5 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE THE SONG OF THE NIGHTINGALE IS LIKE THE SCENT OF SYRINGA by MINA LOY ABRAHAM LINCOLN (1) by RICHARD HENRY STODDARD |
