STRANGE VOICES SING AMONG THE PLANETS WHICH, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Last Line: And our own shadow hides light with a mask? Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina Subject(s): Voices | ||||||||
Strange voices sing among the planets which Move on for ever; in the old sea's foam There is a prophecy; in Heaven's blue dome Great beacon fires are lighted; black as pitch Is night, and yet star jewels make it rich; And if the moon lights up her cloudy home The darkness flees, and forth strange gleamings roam Lighting up hill and vale and mound and ditch. Earth is full of all questions that all ask; And she alone of heavy silence full Answereth not: what is it severeth Us from the spirits that we would be with? Or is it that our fleshly ear is dull, And our own shadow hides light with a mask? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VOICES OF THE AIR by KATHERINE MANSFIELD FIVE EASY POEMS; FOR ANNE-MARIE ALBIACH: 4 (MEZZA VOICE) by MICHAEL PALMER A SINGING VOICE by KENNETH REXROTH A VOICE FROM THE SWEAT-SHOPS (A HYMN WITH RESPONSES) by LOUIS UNTERMEYER IT IS FINISHED' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI ITALIA, IO TI SALUTO!' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THE HEART KNOWETH ITS OWN BITTERNESS' (2) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI |
