CHOPIN, by ZITELLA COCKE First Line: O soul most beautiful, and loving heart Last Line: So deep the rapture and so sweet the thrall! Subject(s): Chopin, Frederic Francois (1810-1849) | |||
O soul most beautiful, and loving heart! O bright, wild bird, — now crooning on thy nest, Now soaring, sped by a divine unrest, — How Nature speaks through thy perfected Art! — Till from our eyes ecstatic tears do start, Till all our soul and senses are possest, And we must weep or smile at thy behest, And in thine ever changing mood take part, Like watchers on enchanted Mount, who see Fair visions pass at a magician's call, — The fairer for their cloud of mystery, — Who feel the necromancer's spell and fall Entranced beneath its pow'r, nor would be free, So deep the rapture and so sweet the thrall! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CHOPIN'S NOCTURNE IN G MINOR by ARLO BATES A CHOPIN PRELUDE by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON ADELE AUS DER OHE by RICHARD WATSON GILDER A CHOPIN FANTASY (ON REMEMBRANCE OF A PRELUDE) by ROBERT UNDERWOOD JOHNSON THE GOAL OF THE WORLD by EDNA DEAN PROCTOR A MAZURKA OF CHOPIN by JAMES RENNELL RODD |
