POETRY, by OLIVER MURRAY EDWARDS First Line: True poetry is overflow Last Line: As soul the mind transcends. Subject(s): Poetry & Poets | ||||||||
True poetry is overflow, The outlet where the soul, When bounds no longer can restrain, Escapes the mind's control; Subconscious thoughts that pass beyond The limits that confine, Expressed in words with mystic charm That doth the heart entwine. 'Tis the expression of the soul In words with music sweet That vibrate chords within the heart Until our spirits meet; 'Tis symphonies that rise to heights Where earth with Heaven blends, With passing touch of Angel's wing As soul the mind transcends. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ENVY OF OTHER PEOPLE'S POEMS by ROBERT HASS THE NINETEENTH CENTURY AS A SONG by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: TIME IS FILLED by LYN HEJINIAN OXOTA: A SHORT RUSSIAN NOVEL: CHAPTER 192 by LYN HEJINIAN LET ME TELL YOU WHAT A POEM BRINGS by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA JUNE JOURNALS 6/25/88 by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA FOLLOW ROZEWICZ by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA HAVING INTENDED TO MERELY PICK ON AN OIL COMPANY, THE POEM GOES AWRY by HICOK.
