SONG OF TRISTRAM, by JOHN TODHUNTER Poet's Biography First Line: The star of love is trembling in the west | |||
The star of love is trembling in the west, The star of love is trembling in the west, Night hears the desolate sea with moan on moan Night hears the desolate sea with moan on moan Sigh for the storm, who on his mountains lone Sigh for the storm, who on his mountains lone Smites his wild harp and dreams of her wild breast. Smites his wild harp and dreams of her wild breast. I am thy storm, Isolt, and thou my sea! I am thy storm, Isolt, and thou my sea! Isolt! Isolt! My passionate sea! My passionate sea! The storm to her wild breast, the passionate sea The storm to her wild breast, the passionate sea To his fierce arms: we to the rapturous leap To his fierce arms: we to the rapturous leap Of mated spirits mingling in love's deep, Of mated spirits mingling in love's deep, Flame to flame, I to thee and thou to me! Flame to flame, I to thee and thou to me! Thou to mine arms, Isolt, I to thy breast! Thou to mine arms, Isolt, I to thy breast! Isolt! Isolt! I to thy breast! I to thy breast! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DEIRDRE'S FAREWELL TO ALBA by JOHN TODHUNTER DEIRDRE'S GREAT LAMENTATION FOR THE SONS OF USNACH by JOHN TODHUNTER IRISH MELODIES by JOHN TODHUNTER THE DEATH-SONG OF TURANN by JOHN TODHUNTER |
