TO W. E. HENLEY, by THOMAS EDWARD BROWN Poet's Biography First Line: Henley, what mark you in the sunset glare? Last Line: Some one! O, yes! Your darling? Is it she? Alternate Author Name(s): Brown, T. E. Subject(s): Henley, William Ernest (1849-1903) | |||
HENLEY, what mark you in the sunset glare? The year is dying: is that the crimson splash Wherewith he seals his testament? the cash, To some conveying of all things good and fair, To others unutterable emptiness? the stare Of folly at a bubble trimmed with trash, Or at a flame, whose unsubstantial ash Falls in a gaping darkness and despair? Friend, scholar loved, look longer: how it glows, Not glares! God opes a perspective to see The chambers of the ivory palaces. And who is that within its encircling rose? Is it my Love that fondles some one? Yes! Some one! O, yes! Your darling? Is it she? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EH, MAN HENLEY, YOU'RE A DON! by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON O HENLEY, IN MY HOURS OF EASE by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON RHYMES TO W.
