ORPHEUS, by ANTIPATER OF SIDON Poet's Biography First Line: No more with rocks and trees shalt thou prevail Last Line: Or grant deliverance from the death to be? Alternate Author Name(s): Antipatros Of Sidon Subject(s): Mythology - Classical; Orpheus | |||
NO more with rocks and trees shalt thou prevail, Or tameless beasts of prey draw after thee, Nor hush the roar of clanging wind and hail Or storm of snow or thunder of the sea. O lost one! how the Maids of Song lament, And most thy mother, sad Calliope: Yet wherefore mourn our sons? Can God relent Or grant deliverance from the death to be? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...UNEXPECTED HOLIDAY by STEPHEN DOBYNS ORPHEUS AND EURYDICE by GEOFFREY HILL THE MARRIAGE (1) by TIMOTHY LIU BETRAYALS/HADES, EURYDICE, ORPHEUS by GREGORY ORR ANACREON by ANTIPATER OF SIDON |
