CEDARS OF LEBANON AT WARWICK CASTLE, by MATHILDE BLIND Poet's Biography First Line: Cedars of lebanon! Labyrinths of shade Last Line: Funeral trees -- beloved of lebanon? Alternate Author Name(s): Lake, Claude Subject(s): Cedar Trees | ||||||||
CEDARS of Lebanon! Labyrinths of Shade, Making a mystery of open day; With layers of gloom keeping the Sun at bay, And solemn boughs which never bloom or fade. Contemporaries of that great Crusade, When militant Christendom leaped up one day, Fired by the Cross, and rushing to the fray, Poured Eastward as oracular Peter bade. Borne hither when Christ's Sepulchre was won, And planted by hoar Warwick's feudal walls, You grew, o'ershadowing every rival stem. When English woods don May's fresh coronals, Say, -- Mourn ye still lost Jerusalem, Funeral trees -- beloved of Lebanon? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PHILOSOPHIES by MADELEINE AARON CEDARS by GRACE HAZARD CONKLING AUTUMN WHIMSIES by DAISY WRIGHT FIELD THE BIRDS' LULLABY by EMILY PAULINE JOHNSON THE CEDARS OF LEBANON by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON PREPARATORY MEDITATIONS, 2D SERIES: 125 by EDWARD TAYLOR CEDARS by JOSEPHINE PRESTON PEABODY |
