REVERIE (1), by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Bring not bright candles, for his eyes Last Line: Palaces in the sky! Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter | |||
Bring not bright candles, for his eyes In twilight have sweet company; Bring not bright candles, else they fly -- His phantoms fly -- Gazing aggrieved on thee! Bring not bright candles, startle not The phantoms of a vacant room, Flocking above a child that dreams -- Deep, deep in dreams, -- Hid, in the gathering gloom! Bring not bright candles to those eyes That between earth and stars descry, Lovelier for the shadows there, Children of air, Palaces in the sky! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ALONE (2) by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE AN EPITAPH by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ARABIA by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE BUNCHES OF GRAPES by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ECHO by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ENGLAND (2) by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE FARE WELL by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE FIVE EYES by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE JOHN MOULDY by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE MOTLEY by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE |
