A CASTLE-BUILDER'S WORLD, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Unripe harvest there hath none to reap it
Last Line: Shades of bodies without souls.
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina
Subject(s): Soul; Emptiness; Desolation


The line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.

UNRIPE harvest there hath none to reap it
From the misty gusty place,
Unripe vineyard there hath none to keep it
In unprofitable space.
Living men and women are not found there
Only masks in flocks and shoals;
Flesh - and - bloodless hazy masks surround there
Ever wavering orbs and poles;
Flesh - and - bloodless vapid masks abound there,
Shades of bodies without souls.
