A flight of fancy, heeding neither time nor space, And music holding one enraptured in some place Enthrall. The daily view made beautiful by snow, New faces in our gallery of friends, the blow Of undeserved rebuff, or news from lands afar Are sometimes circumstances in a day that mar Or, passing, make for us a lasting joy or shame. We may forget, but life is nevermore the same. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EPITAPH ON HIMSELF by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE IMPROMPTU TO LADY WINCHILSEA by ALEXANDER POPE THE KEARSARGE (1894) by JAMES JEFFREY ROCHE THE LOVE OF GOD by ELIZA SCUDDER NATIONAL ODE; INDEPENDENCE SQUARE, PHILADELPHIA by BAYARD TAYLOR TO A HUMMING BIRD by GLADYS ARNE EMANCIPATION IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, APRIL 16, 1862 by JAMES MADISON BELL |
