MUSIC AND MEMORY, by JOHN ALBEE Poet's Biography First Line: Enchantress, touch no more that strain Last Line: Still bringing all the pain they cost. Subject(s): Music & Musicians; Transcendentalism | |||
ENCHANTRESS, touch no more that strain! I know not what it may contain, But in my breast such mood it wakes My very spirit almost breaks. Thoughts come from out some hidden realm Whose dim memorials overwhelm, Still bring not back the things I lost, -- Still bringing all the pain they cost. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WHY MIRA CAN'T GO BACK TO HER OLD HOUSE by MIRABAI MY LIFE by HENRY DAVID THOREAU RUMORS FROM AN AEOLIAN HARP by HENRY DAVID THOREAU ODE TO A BUTTERFLY by THOMAS WENTWORTH HIGGINSON THE HEART'S CURE by ELLEN STURGIS HOOPER THE HOUSE OF REST by JULIA WARD HOWE SONNET: 8.
