SONNETS ATTEMPTED IN THE MANNER OF CONTEMPORARY WRITERS: 1, by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Pensive at eve, on the hard world I mused Last Line: Oh my poor heart's inexplicable swell! | ||||||||
Pensive at eve, on the hard world I mused, And my poor heart was sad; so at the MOON I gazed, and sighed, and sighed; for ah how soon Eve saddens into night! mine eyes perused With tearful vacancy the dampy grass That wept and glitter'd in the paly ray: And I did pause me, on my lonely way And mused me, on the wretched ones that pass O'er the bleak heath of sorrow. But alas! Most of myself I thought! when it befel, That the soothe spirit of the breezy wood Breath'd in mine ear: 'All this is very well, But much of ONE thing, is for NO thing good.' Oh my poor heart's INEXPLICABLE SWELL! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A DAY DREAM by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE A THOUGHT SUGGESTED BY A VIEW, OF SADDLEBACK IN CUMBERLAND by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE AN INVOCATION; SONG, FR.
