MAGNIFICENCE, by GEORGE WILLIAM RUSSELL Poet's Biography First Line: Cloistered amid these austere rocks Alternate Author Name(s): A. E. | |||
CLOISTERED amid these austere rocks, Abrooding seer, I watched an hour, Close to the earth, lost to all else, The marvel of a tiny flower. To build its palace walls of jade What myriads toiled in dark and cold: And what gay traders from the sun Brought down its sapphire and its gold! Oh, palace of the universe! Oh, changing halls of day and night! Does the high Builder dream in thee With more of wonder and delight ? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FROLIC by GEORGE WILLIAM RUSSELL IMMORTALITY by GEORGE WILLIAM RUSSELL RECONCILIATION by GEORGE WILLIAM RUSSELL SACRIFICE by GEORGE WILLIAM RUSSELL THE GIFT by GEORGE WILLIAM RUSSELL A CALL by GEORGE WILLIAM RUSSELL A FAREWELL by GEORGE WILLIAM RUSSELL A HOLY HILL by GEORGE WILLIAM RUSSELL A LAST COUNSEL by GEORGE WILLIAM RUSSELL A LEADER by GEORGE WILLIAM RUSSELL |
