ON THE RIVER TEPL, WRITTEN AT THE FREUNDSCHAFT SAAL, CARLSBAD, by ROWLAND EYLES EGERTON-WARBURTON Poet's Biography First Line: Friendless I came, but friendless now no more Last Line: Still hastening onward to eternity. Alternate Author Name(s): Egerton-warburton, R. E. Subject(s): Nature; Rivers; Tepl (river), Europe | ||||||||
FRIENDLESS I came, but friendless now no more; Thy voice, sweet river, greets me, and I trace A smile of welcome in thy sparkling face, When early morn invites me to thy shore; Thy sunlit waters to fresh life restore The fragrant flowers that gild the mountain's base; Lulled by the rippling music of thy race, With tranquil happiness my heart runs o'er. The hues of heaven are mirrored in thy stream; O, teach me so to live that hope sublime, From Heaven reflected, on my path may beam! Thy ceaseless current runs to reach the sea; Teach me in wisdom to redeem the time, Still hastening onward to Eternity. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A BOTTLE OF THE OLD by ROWLAND EYLES EGERTON-WARBURTON A DILEMMA by ROWLAND EYLES EGERTON-WARBURTON A LAWYER'S BILL by ROWLAND EYLES EGERTON-WARBURTON A LOOKING-GLASS FOR LANDLORDS by ROWLAND EYLES EGERTON-WARBURTON A MINOR CANON by ROWLAND EYLES EGERTON-WARBURTON A MYSTERY by ROWLAND EYLES EGERTON-WARBURTON A NEW DENOMINATION by ROWLAND EYLES EGERTON-WARBURTON A PROMISE TO PAY by ROWLAND EYLES EGERTON-WARBURTON A REASON by ROWLAND EYLES EGERTON-WARBURTON |
