THE GREAT CAROUSEL, by RICHARD DEHMEL First Line: In heaven is a carousel Last Line: Our mighty carousel. Subject(s): Merry-go-grounds; Carousels | ||||||||
In heaven is a carousel, that turns both day and night. It whirls as though beneath a spell; one cannot ever see it well, for it is made of light. My madcap, stay your flight! Take heed, it whirs the stars anew around the skyey sphere, in speeding circles lost to view, and music, music sounds thereto, so fine, we scarcely hear; only in dreams 'tis clear. In dreams we hear it from the far bright sky: a heavenly bell. My madcap dreams of that lit car, we turn together on a star; and not too swift it whirls, but well, our mighty carousel. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CAROUSEL; JARDIN DE LUXEMBOURG by RAINER MARIA RILKE MARLBOROUGH FAIR by MARGARET LOUISA WOODS BEFORE THE STORM by RICHARD DEHMEL FROM ON OPPRESSED HEART by RICHARD DEHMEL HARVEST SONG by RICHARD DEHMEL MANY A NIGHT by RICHARD DEHMEL MOUNTAIN PSALM by RICHARD DEHMEL SONG BEFORE NIGHT by RICHARD DEHMEL SONG FOR ALL by RICHARD DEHMEL SONG TO MY SON by RICHARD DEHMEL THE BIG MERRY-GO-ROUND (A SONG FOR A CHILD) by RICHARD DEHMEL |
