ON MUSIC, by WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE Poet's Biography First Line: I cannot tell how high my soul takes wing Last Line: Unto the zephyr's piping, in dizzy, dizzy ring! Subject(s): Music & Musicians | ||||||||
I CANNOT tell how high my soul takes wing, Nor to what depths in liquid sweets it sinks -- Yet well I know it suffers from thy sting, As one who of Cyceon mixture drinks. And I can feel a rose-stream thro' me creep, Curving about my senses, as they leap, And swell and rise and fall, As blossoms ambrosial Shook from some full blown orange-tree in spring, Sink wav'ring to the ground And bound Unto the zephyr's piping, in dizzy, dizzy ring! | Other Poems of Interest...JAZZ STATION by MICHAEL S.
