ON THE DEATH OF LEOPOLD, KING OF THE BELGIANS, by CHARLES KINGSLEY Poet's Biography First Line: A king is dead! Another master mind Last Line: Guiding thy kings and thee, the king of kings. Subject(s): Leopold I, King Of The Belgians | |||
A KING is dead! Another master mind Is summoned from the world-wide council hall. Ah, for some seer, to say what lurks behind -- To read the mystic writing on the wall! Be still, fond man: nor ask thy fate to know. Face bravely what each God-sent moment brings. Above thee rules in love, through weal and woe, Guiding thy kings and thee, the King of kings. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A FAREWELL [TO C.E.G.] by CHARLES KINGSLEY A ROUGH RHYME ON A ROUGH MATTER; THE ENGLISH GAME LAWS by CHARLES KINGSLEY AIRLY BEACON by CHARLES KINGSLEY DOLCINO TO MARGARET by CHARLES KINGSLEY THE INVITATION (TO TOM HUGHES) by CHARLES KINGSLEY THE LAST BUCCANEER by CHARLES KINGSLEY THE SANDS OF DEE by CHARLES KINGSLEY THE THREE FISHERS by CHARLES KINGSLEY |
