ECHO SONG, by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: In thy cavern-hall Last Line: -- strange, sweet echo! Even like thee replying. Alternate Author Name(s): Browne, Felicia Dorothea Subject(s): Echo (mythology) | |||
IN thy cavern-hall, Echo! art thou sleeping? By the fountain's fall Dreamy silence keeping? Yet one soft note borne From the shepherd's horn, Wakes thee, Echo! into music leaping! Strange, sweet Echo! into music leaping. Then the woods rejoice, Then glad sounds are swelling From each sister-voice Round thy rocky dwelling; And their sweetness fills All the hollow hills, With a thousand notes, of one life telling! -- Softly mingled notes, of one life telling. Echo! in my heart Thus deep thoughts are lying, Silent and apart, Buried, yet undying; Till some gentle tone Wakening haply one, Calls a thousand forth, like thee replying! -- Strange, sweet Echo! even like thee replying. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ECHO AND THE FERRY by JEAN INGELOW A GENTLE ECHO ON WOMAN (IN THE DORIC MANNER) by JONATHAN SWIFT ECHO SONG by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH ECHO by AULUS LICINIUS ARCHIAS ABER STATIONS: STATIO QUINTA by THOMAS EDWARD BROWN PICTURES OF TRAVEL: THE BALTIC, PART 2: 9.
