MY WINDOW, by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The young moon, refreshed from her lynns of light Last Line: "to hear them where the moon draws light affirm their new-seen ""all is one." Alternate Author Name(s): Blunden, Edmund | ||||||||
THE young moon, refreshed from her lynns of light, Moves there; her golden horn, New-beauty-born, Ravishes the night, And the single star that on human sight For ever companions her summer return, At his spell, Her lute, her blossom in the bosom, her bell, Is the eye of eternal affection, Tenderness, the nurse of resurrection; These at my window are, the moon and star, And this inquiring, retiring, reappearing bat With thwart magnificat. Below, the pool of dewy meadows rests, its faint shine Far-stealing; and in my room, this mine And tunnel, prisoners stand on every hand, Their geniuses turned into printed pages, Princes these of all the ages; My love yet makes their shells and cerecloths bloom. I bless them, gazing along the wall at their questionable shape, And while I bless them, condemn them to no escape From me their king and ape Until my spirit be gone To hear them where the moon draws light affirm their new-seen "All is One." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FOREFATHERS by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN REPORT ON EXPERIENCE by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN SOLUTIONS by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN THE GIANT PUFFBALL by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN THE MIDNIGHT SKATERS by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN VLAMERTINGHE: PASSING THE CHATEAU, JULY 1917 by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN 11TH R.S.R. by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN 1916 SEEN FROM 1921 by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN A 'FIRST IMPRESSION': TOKYO by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN A BRIDGE by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN |
