MIRAGE, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The hope I dreamed of was a dream Last Line: From a dream's sake. Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina Subject(s): Love; Mirages | ||||||||
The hope I dreamed of was a dream, Was but a dream; and now I wake Exceeding comfortless and worn and old, For a dream's sake. I hang my harp upon a tree, A weeping willow in a lake; I hang my silenced harp there, wrung and snapped, For a dream's sake. Lie still, lie still, my breaking heart; My silent heart, lie still and break: Life and the world and mine own self are changed, From a dream's sake. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MIRAGE by RICHARD THOMAS CHURCH THE MIRAGE by NATHAN HASKELL DOLE MIRAGE - THE PASSING WEST by ELIZABETH GARBUTT 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 |
