TO DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI, by EDMUND WILLIAM GOSSE Poet's Biography First Line: Master, whose very names have godlike power Last Line: Surely my heart may speak, nor do you wrong! Subject(s): Rossetti, Dante Gabriel (1828-1882) | |||
MASTER, whose very names have godlike power Of song and light divine, being his who went Unscathed through blearing fire omnipotent, Singing for men; and his who hour by hour Stands in the imminent and splendid shower Of God's effulgence; and being lastly blent With the warm light and odour effluent Of your own rhymes, our latest, loveliest dower, Not in our own land could my weakness mock Your strength with homage of my poor May-day, -- The applause of circling poets scared my song, But here where twenty thousand thunders shock The violent air for leagues of dim sea-way, Surely my heart may speak, nor do you wrong! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONNET FOR A PICTURE by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE AT THE GRAVE OF DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI by H.
