INVOCATION, by JOHN DRINKWATER Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: As pools beneath stone arches take Last Line: Make me immoderately wise. | ||||||||
As pools beneath stone arches take Darkly within their deeps again Shapes of the flowing stone, and make Stories anew of passing men, So let the living thoughts that keep, Morning and evening, in their kind, Eternal change in height and deep, Be mirrored in my happy mind: Beat, world, upon this heart, be loud Your marvel chanted in my blood. Come forth, O sun, through cloud on cloud To shine upon my stubborn mood. Great hills that fold above the sea, Ecstatic airs and sparkling skies, Sing out your words to master me -- Make me immoderately wise. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MOONLIT APPLES by JOHN DRINKWATER 1914-1918: THE DEAD SPEAK by JOHN DRINKWATER A CHRISTMAS NIGHT by JOHN DRINKWATER A DEDICATION by JOHN DRINKWATER A GHOST SPEAKS ON THE STYX by JOHN DRINKWATER A MAN'S DAUGHTER by JOHN DRINKWATER |
