See heer a Shadow from that setting SUNNE, Whose glorious course through this Horizon runn Left the dimm face of our dull Hemisphaere, All one great Eye, all drown'd in one great Teare. Whose rare industrious Soule, led his free thought Through Learning's Universe, and (vainly) sought Roome for her spacious Self; untill at length She found the way home: with an holy strength Snatch't herself hence to Heav'n; fill'd a bright place 'Midst those immortall Fires, and on the face Of her Great MAKER, fixt a flaming eye, Where still she reads true, pure Divinitie. And now that grave Aspect hath deign'd to shrink Into this lesse appearance. If you think 'Tis but a dead face Art doth heer bequeath, Look on the following leaves and see him breath. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SONG OF THE DEMENTED PRIEST by JOHN BERRYMAN HORATIO ALGER (1834-1899) by MADELINE DEFREES ELEGIES FOR THE OCHER DEER ON THE WALLS AT LASCAUX by NORMAN DUBIE IN THE TIME OF FALSE MESSIAHS; CIRCA 1648 by NORMAN DUBIE THE GUARDIAN OF THE RED DISK (SPOKEN BY A CITIZEN OF MALTA - 1300) by EMMA LAZARUS DOMESDAY BOOK: FATHER WHIMSETT by EDGAR LEE MASTERS DOMESDAY BOOK: REV.
