THE LYRE AND THE CROWN, by MARCUS ARGENTARIUS Poet's Biography First Line: My revelry is this: to scan Last Line: Heaven has its lyre and crown. Alternate Author Name(s): Markus Argentarios | |||
MY revelry is this: to scan The evening sky o'er head, The golden dance of starry quires; No human dance I tread. My lyre rings music; on my brow Rose-wreaths rain petals down; So is my life to heaven attuned; Heaven has its Lyre and Crown. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...READING HESIOD by MARCUS ARGENTARIUS THE OLD STORY by MARCUS ARGENTARIUS THE POOR MAN IS NOT LOVED by MARCUS ARGENTARIUS SARAH'S MONSTERS by KAREN SWENSON SONG: WOO'D AND MARRIED AND A' by JOANNA BAILLIE THE SPIRIT AND THE CUP by A.
