TO THE SKY, by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Far from the rustlings of the poplar-bough Last Line: With founts of beauty for the eye of love. Alternate Author Name(s): Browne, Felicia Dorothea Subject(s): Sky; Spring | ||||||||
FAR from the rustlings of the poplar-bough, Which o'er my opening life wild music made, Far from the green hills with their heathery glow And flashing streams whereby my childhood played; In the dim city, 'midst the sounding flow Of restless life, to thee in love I turn, O thou rich Sky! and from thy splendours learn How song-birds come and part, flowers wane and blow. With thee all shapes of glory find their home, And thou hast taught me well, majestic dome! By stars, by sunsets, by soft clouds which rove Thy blue expanse, or sleep in silvery rest, That Nature's God hath left no spot unblessed With founts of beauty for the eye of love. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPRING LEMONADE by TONY HOAGLAND A SPRING SONG by LYMAN WHITNEY ALLEN SPRING'S RETURN by GEORGE LAWRENCE ANDREWS ODE TO SPRING by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD ODE TO SPRING by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD SPRING FLOODS by MAURICE BARING SPRING IN WINTER by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES SPRING ON THE PRAIRIE by HERBERT BATES THE FARMER'S BOY: SPRING by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD A DIRGE (1) by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS |
