EDENLAND; FOR MUSIC, by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK Poet's Biography First Line: You remember where in starlight Last Line: Under the stars of edenland. Alternate Author Name(s): Mulock, Dinah Maria | ||||||||
YOU remember where in starlight We two wandered hand in hand, While the night-flowers poured their perfume, And night-airs the still earth fanned? -- There I, walking yester even, Felt like a ghost in Edenland. I remember all you told me, Looking up as we did stand, While my heart poured out its perfume, Like the night-flowers in your hand; And the path where we two wandered Seemed not like earth but Edenland. Now the stars shine paler, colder Night-flowers die without your hand; Yet my spirit walks beside you Everywhere, unsought, unbanned. And I wait till we shall wander Under the stars of Edenland. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DOUGLAS, DOUGLAS, TENDER AND TRUE by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK HER LIKENESS by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK NOW AND AFTERWARDS by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK ONLY A WOMAN by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK PHILIP, MY KING by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK A 'MERCENARY' MARRIAGE by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK A CHILD'S SMILE by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK A CHRISTMAS CAROL by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK A DEAD BABY by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK A DEAD SEA-GULL; NEAR LIVERPOOL by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK |
