ETERNAL LOVERS, by GEORGE WILLIAM RUSSELL Poet's Biography First Line: Whirled on their starry odyssey Alternate Author Name(s): A. E. | |||
WHIRLED on their starry Odyssey From heaven to earth, in this deep glade The eternal lovers hold their court Within the heart of man and maid. That darkness throbs with hidden fire: The pulse beats fast: the heavens call: Earth is transfigured, and the twain Breathe as they did before the Fall. When King and Queen feast in the heart They squander all the gold of years To make their banquet gay, then leave A ruined heart, a house of tears. | 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 |
