HERE, here, oh here Eurydice, Here was she slain; Her soul 'still'd through a vein. The gods knew less, That time, divinity, Than ev'n, ev'n these Of brutishness. Oh, could you view the melody Of ev'ry grace, And music of her face, You'd drop a tear, Seeing more harmony In her bright eye, Than now you hear. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...UNEXPECTED HOLIDAY by STEPHEN DOBYNS ORPHEUS AND EURYDICE by GEOFFREY HILL THE MARRIAGE (1) by TIMOTHY LIU BETRAYALS/HADES, EURYDICE, ORPHEUS by GREGORY ORR GRATIANA DANCING AND SINGING by RICHARD LOVELACE LA BELLA BONA ROBA by RICHARD LOVELACE THE GRASSHOPPER; TO MY NOBLE FRIEND MR.
