SONNET ON MOOR PARK - WRITTEN AT PARIS, MAY 11, 1826, by SAMUEL EGERTON BRYDGES Poet's Biography First Line: High name of poet! - sought in every age Last Line: Let me the music of thy murmurs hear. Subject(s): Poetry & Poets | ||||||||
HIGH name of poet! -- sought in every age By thousands -- scarcely won by two or three, -- As with the thorns of this sad pilgrimage My bleeding feet are doom'd their war to wage, With awful worship I have bow'd to thee! And yet perchance it is not fate's decree, This mighty boon should be assign'd to me, My heart's consuming fever to assuage. -- Fountain of Poesy! that liest deep Within the bosom's innermost recesses, And rarely burstest forth to human ear, Break out! -- and, while profoundly magic sleep With pierceless veil all outward form oppresses, Let me the music of thy murmurs hear. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ENVY OF OTHER PEOPLE'S POEMS by ROBERT HASS THE NINETEENTH CENTURY AS A SONG by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: TIME IS FILLED by LYN HEJINIAN OXOTA: A SHORT RUSSIAN NOVEL: CHAPTER 192 by LYN HEJINIAN LET ME TELL YOU WHAT A POEM BRINGS by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA JUNE JOURNALS 6/25/88 by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA FOLLOW ROZEWICZ by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA HAVING INTENDED TO MERELY PICK ON AN OIL COMPANY, THE POEM GOES AWRY by HICOK.
