THE RIVER ROAD, by WILLIAM GARDINER First Line: Perfume of honey, incense sweet Last Line: Not ecstasy? Subject(s): Beauty; Nature | ||||||||
Perfume of honey, incense sweet, Among the trees Where sleeps the river at their feet, To drone of bees; And lures the road, on winding way, To follow still, Beyond the bend, afar, astray, Beyond the soaring hill -- O, soul of mine, is this to thee Not ecstasy? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...INTERRUPTED MEDITATION by ROBERT HASS TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: HOME by LYN HEJINIAN WRITING IS AN AID TO MEMORY: 17 by LYN HEJINIAN LET US GATHER IN A FLOURISHING WAY by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA IN MICHAEL ROBINS?ÇÖS CLASS MINUS ONE by HICOK.
