MY HOME, by JAMES CLARENCE MANGAN Poet's Biography First Line: Morn and eve a star invites me Last Line: Woos me, lures me, lights me thither! | |||
Morn and eve a star invites me , One imploring, silver star, Woos me, calls me, lures me, lights me, O'er the desert deep afar To a lovely Orient land, Where the sun at morning early Rises fresh and young and glowing, Where the air is light and bland, And the rain-drops fall so pearly. Therefore am I going, going Home to this, my lovely land, Where the sun at morning early Rises fresh and young and glowing, Where the airs are light and bland, And the rain is warm and pearly! All unheeding, all unknowing, I am speeding, I am going- Going home to my-to my land, To my only lonely island In the desert deep afar. Yet, unknowing and undreaming, Why I go, or how, or whither, Save that one imploring star, Ever burning, ever beaming, Woos me, lures me, lights me thither! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest... |
