TO SHELLEY, by JOHN BANISTER TABB Poet's Biography First Line: At shelley's birth Last Line: And the rekindling flame. Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb Subject(s): Poetry & Poets; Shelley, Percy Bysshe (1792-1822) | |||
AT Shelley's birth, The Lark, dawn-spirit, with an anthem loud Rose from the dusky earth To tell it to the Cloud, That, like a flower night-folded in the gloom, Burst into morning bloom. At Shelley's death, The Sea, that deemed him an immortal, saw A god's extinguished breath, And landward, as in awe, Upbore him to the altar whence he came, And the rekindling flame. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE GENERAL PUBLIC by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET SHELLEY'S ARETHUSA SET TO NEW MEASURES by ROBERT DUNCAN OZYMANDIAS REVISITED by MORRIS GILBERT BISHOP MEMORABILIA by ROBERT BROWNING ROME.
