FOREST and plain are gone, And April's ancient spell ... Give me thy lips; thereon The woodland wind shall swell. Lost is the sullen stir Of Ocean's endless pain ... Speak, and my soul shall hear His surging tides again. In royal woe I weep, And dream of suns gone blind ... O! bosom hide me deep As nights bereft of wind. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VALUE IN MOUNTAINS: 10 by KENNETH REXROTH IMPERIAL NOSTALGIAS: 4 by CESAR VALLEJO BLACK SHEEP by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON TIRED TIM by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE WEARINESS by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW NEURASTENIA by AGNES MARY F.
