A THOUGHT FOR MARCH 1860, by CHARLES TENNYSON TURNER Poet's Biography First Line: Yon happy blackbird's note the rushing wind Last Line: His eagles wave their wings, and they are gone. Subject(s): Napoleon Iii (1808-1873) | ||||||||
Yon happy blackbird's note the rushing wind Quells not, nor disconcerts his golden tongue, That breaks my morning dream with well-known song; How many a roaring March I've left behind, Whose blasts, all-spirited with notes and trills, Blew over peaceful England! and, ere long, Another March will come these hills among, To clash the lattices and whirl the mills: But what shall be ere then? Ambition's lust Is broad awake, and gazing from a throne But newly set, counts half the world his own; All ancient covenants aside are thrust, Old landmarks are like scratches in the dust, His eagles wave their wings, and they are gone. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LAST CAESAR, 1851-1870 by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH NAPOLEON III IN ITALY by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING PRINCE HOHENSTIEL-SCHWANGAU; SAVIOUR OF SOCIETY by ROBERT BROWNING A COUP D'ETAT; AN INCIDENT IN THE NIGHT OF DECEMBER 4, 1851 by VICTOR MARIE HUGO VILLA FRANCA by JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL MADAME TALLEYRAND AND THE TRAVELLER by HORACE SMITH DIRE: 10.
