BLUE PRINTS FOR AN ELYSIUM, by ALEC BROCK STEVENSON First Line: How much for paradise? Now mine is new Last Line: Across the western sky, a lark, a rose. Subject(s): Elysium (mythology) | |||
How much for Paradise? Now mine is new, Impressed with Wonder, trafficked through by Praise, Musicked with birds and waterfalls, with dew Made fresh, and set about with lovely days. Blue Paradise is mine, and green, and brown; I'll take my rest and watch the agile breeze Work silver magic through the simple trees; I'll stare the bravest golden sunset down. Now I have Eden's body; cut the purse; Flood me with yellow; drown me in the price; Discover houris, opium, or worse; Yet will I sing, yet laud my Paradise, Compact on Earth of a little wind that blows Across the western sky, a lark, a rose. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...RHYMES OF A ROLLING STONE: PRELUDE by ROBERT WILLIAM SERVICE ELYSIUM by EDWARD COATE PINKNEY ET SA PAUVRE CHAIR by ALEC BROCK STEVENSON URBAINE ON THE PLANETARIUM by ALEC BROCK STEVENSON STEAMBOATS, VIADUCTS, AND RAILWAYS by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS by MARIA ABDY SEVEN SAD SONNETS: 7.
