DOMESTIC PEACE; SONG, FR. THE FALL OF ROBESPIERRE, by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: Tell me, on what holy ground
Last Line: Memory, bosom-spring of joy.
First Line: Tell me, on what holy ground
Last Line: Memory, bosom-spring of joy.
TELL me, on what holy ground
May Domestic Peace be found?
Halcyon daughter of the skies,
Far on fearful wings she flies,
From the pomp of Sceptered State,
From the Rebel's noisy hate.
In a cottaged vale She dwells,
Listening to the Sabbath bells!
Still around her steps are seen
Spotless Honour's meeker mien,
Love, the sire of pleasing fears,
Sorrow smiling through her tears,
And conscious of the past employ
Memory, bosom-spring of joy.
