A DREAM TEMPLE; NEW YORK CITY, by EDITH MATILDA THOMAS Poet's Biography
First Line: My temple hath yon city roofs for floor
Last Line: And they are gone,—the blest, who there have knelt!
Subject(s): Temples; Mosques
First Line: My temple hath yon city roofs for floor
Last Line: And they are gone,—the blest, who there have knelt!
Subject(s): Temples; Mosques
My temple hath yon city roofs for floor;
For roof, the azure; and, to stay the roof,
A thousand alabastrine columns soar
In coiling smoke that, silent, steals aloof!
My temple builds itself at windless prime,—
At dawn,—or in the rosy eventime;
Ere garish midday, roof and pillar melt,—
And they are gone,—the Blest, who there have knelt!
