TO GEORGE STERLING, by CHARLES WARREN STODDARD First Line: Spirit of fire and dew Last Line: This scroll at thy feet. Subject(s): Sterling, George (1869-1926) | ||||||||
"The Angel Israfel, whose heart-strings are a lute, and who has the sweetest voice of all God's creatures." Spirt of fire and dew Embodied anew. Thou art a faun o' the wood, A sprite o' the flood, Not of the world understood. Voice that is heard from afar, Voice of the soul of a star. From thy cloud in the azure above 'Tis thy song that awakeneth love Love that invites and awe that retards Blesséd art thou among bards! My astral is there where thou art, Soul of my soul, heart of my heart! Unworthy, ill-done, incomplete, This scroll at thy feet. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TAMALPAIS, SELECTION by CHARLES WARREN STODDARD THE BELLS OF SAN GABRIEL by CHARLES WARREN STODDARD THE COCOA-TREE by CHARLES WARREN STODDARD THE ROYAL MUMMY TO BOHEMIA by CHARLES WARREN STODDARD WIND AND WAVE by CHARLES WARREN STODDARD REPULSE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON CA' THE YOWES TO THE KNOWES' by ISOBEL (ISABEL) PAGAN EVEN SO by DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI SONNET OF LIFE by ERNEST BENSHIMOL TRUST by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN |
