ASPIRATIONS: 8, by MATHILDE BLIND Poet's Biography First Line: My heart is hushed and holy Last Line: That twilight soul of mine. Alternate Author Name(s): Lake, Claude Subject(s): Grief; God; Conduct Of Life; Sorrow; Sadness | |||
My heart is hushed and holy, And pure and calm my soul, Like aisles in old cathedrals, Where organ billows roll. And o'er my fancy flitteth A dim and lovely light, Like beams that fall and quiver Through oriel windows bright. Oh thou, thou art the music That, like a tide, sweeps in, Waking the sacred echoes My spirit's deeps within. And thou, thou are the splendour, Mysteriously divine, That overfloods with glory That twilight soul of mine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONOMA FIRE by JANE HIRSHFIELD AS THE SPARKS FLY UPWARDS by JOHN HOLLANDER WHAT GREAT GRIEF HAS MADE THE EMPRESS MUTE by JUNE JORDAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 19 by JAMES JOYCE DIRGE AT THE END OF THE WOODS by LEONIE ADAMS |
