FOR all the beryl, pearl and chrysoprase Wherewith the summer binds her brow; The bleachéd raiment, meet for seraphim, That April hangs upon the bough; For autumn mornings when the very stones Are steeped in amethystine light; For lonely contemplations that endear The silent winter night; For strength of youth, and charity of age; For this life's myrrh and euphrasy, And those "sublime attractions of the grave" Gloria Tibi Domine! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...STONE'S SECRET by MARGARET AVISON CONTRA MORTEM: THE STONE by HAYDEN CARRUTH NAMING FOR LOVE by HAYDEN CARRUTH OF THE STONES OF THE PLACE by ROBERT FROST THE EYE IN THE ROCK by JOHN HAINES THE HEAD ON THE TABLE by JOHN HAINES A CHILD'S THOUGHTS by ANNA BUNSTON DE BARY |
