Years passed. And where that lowly hermitage Stood forest-screen'd, a Fane of Peace uprose Where desolate souls their sorrows might assuage.

And love grown perfect did their days attune. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HIGH PLAINS RAG by JAMES GALVIN SHE WEEPS OVER RAHOON by JAMES JOYCE THE ROAD TO AVIGNON by AMY LOWELL |
