Artist Info:
This poem really speaks to me, I hope you like it to.<br />
<br />
Thou wast all that to me, love,<br />
For which my soul did pine-<br />
A green isle in the sea, love,<br />
A fountain and a shrine,<br />
All wreathed with fairy fruits and flowers,<br />
And all the flowers were mine.<br />
<br />
Ah, dream too bright to last!<br />
Ah, starry Hope! that didst arise<br />
But to be overcast!<br />
A voice from out the Future cries,<br />
"On! on!"- but o'er the Past<br />
(Dim gulf!) my spirit hovering lies<br />
Mute, motionless, aghast!<br />
<br />
For, alas! alas! me<br />
The light of Life is o'er!<br />
"No more- no more- no more-"<br />
(Such language holds the solemn sea<br />
To the sands upon the shore)<br />
Shall bloom the thunder-blasted tree<br />
Or the stricken eagle soar!<br />
<br />
And all my days are trances,<br />
And all my nightly dreams<br />
Are where thy grey eye glances,<br />
And where thy footstep gleams-<br />
In what ethereal dances,<br />
By what eternal streams.<br />
<br />
