@3Whatever loveliness is in this music, Whatever yearning after lovely things, -- Whatever crying after stars, in darkness, Whatever beating of impeded wings: Whatever climbing of the rose to sunlight, Sweet-hearted laugh from the dark blind sod: Whatever madness of the sea for moonlight, Whatever yearning of the good to God: All that is beautiful, and all that looks on beauty With eyes filled with fire, like a lover's eyes: All of this is yours; you gave it to me, sunlight! All these stars are yours; you gave them to me, skies!@1 | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LA PALOMA IN LONDON by CLAUDE MCKAY BATTLE OF BRITAIN by CECIL DAY LEWIS OUR CAMP; IN THE AUTUMN WOODS by ROBERT FROST INDEPENDENCE DAY, 1956, A FAIRY TALE by JAMES GALVIN SONNET TO THOSE WHO SEE BUT DARKLY by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON |
