ECHO SONG, by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Who can say where echo dwells Last Line: Echo! Subject(s): Echo (mythology) | |||
I WHO can say where Echo dwells? In some mountain-cave, methinks, Where the white owl sits and blinks; Or in deep sequestered dells, Where the foxglove hangs its bells, Echo dwells. Echo! Echo! II Phantom of the crystal Air, Daughter of sweet Mystery! Here is one has need of thee; Lead him to thy secret lair, Myrtle brings he for thy hair -- Hear his prayer, Echo! Echo! III Echo, lift thy drowsy head, And repeat each charmed word Thou must needs have overheard Yestere'en ere, rosy-red, Daphne down the valley fled -- Words unsaid, Echo! Echo! IV Breathe the vows she since denies! She hath broken every vow; What she would she would not now -- Thou didst hear her perjuries. Whisper, whilst I shut my eyes, Those sweet lies, Echo!
