EVENING IN TYRINGHAM VALLEY, by RICHARD WATSON GILDER Poet's Biography First Line: What domes and pinnacles of mist and fire Last Line: Oh, let thy spirit stay with me, sweet vale! | |||
WHAT domes and pinnacles of mist and fire Are builded in you spacious realms of light All silently, as did the walls aspire Templing the ark of God by day and night! Noiseless and swift, from darkening ridge to ridge, Through purple air that deepens down the day, Over the valley springs a shadowy bridge. The evening star's keen, solitary ray Makes more intense the silence, and the glad, Unmelancholy, restful, twilight gloom -- So full of tenderness, that even the sad Remembrances that haunt the soul take bloom Like that on yonder mountain. Now the bars Of sunset all burn black; the day doth fail, And the skies whiten with the eternal stars. Oh, let thy spirit stay with me, sweet vale! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SHERMAN by RICHARD WATSON GILDER THE CELLO by RICHARD WATSON GILDER THE SONG OF A HEATHEN by RICHARD WATSON GILDER THE SONNET by RICHARD WATSON GILDER A CHILD by RICHARD WATSON GILDER A CHRISTMAS HYMN by RICHARD WATSON GILDER A MEMORY OF RUBINSTEIN by RICHARD WATSON GILDER A MOOD by RICHARD WATSON GILDER ADELE AUS DER OHE by RICHARD WATSON GILDER |
