COME SLOWLY, PARADISE, by JAMES BENJAMIN KENYON Poet's Biography First Line: O dawn upon me slowly, paradise! Last Line: As one from happy sleep. | ||||||||
O DAWN upon me slowly, Paradise! Come not too suddenly, Lest my just-opened, unaccustomed eyes Smitten with blindness be. To those who from Time's penury and woe Rise to thy heights afar, Down which the floods of glory fall and flow, Too great thy splendors are. So grow upon me slowly; sweetly break Across death's silent deep, Till to thy morning brightness I shall wake As one from happy sleep. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BRING THEM NOT BACK by JAMES BENJAMIN KENYON BYLO-LAND by JAMES BENJAMIN KENYON COME, O WIND by JAMES BENJAMIN KENYON DEATH AND NIGHT by JAMES BENJAMIN KENYON LULLABY by JAMES BENJAMIN KENYON TACITA by JAMES BENJAMIN KENYON THE BEDOUINS OF THE SKIES by JAMES BENJAMIN KENYON THE TWO SPIRITS by JAMES BENJAMIN KENYON WE SHALL ATTAIN by JAMES BENJAMIN KENYON |
