V.R. 1819-1901; A REVERIE, by THOMAS HARDY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The mightiest moments pass uncalendered Last Line: Till ripening years have run. Subject(s): Victoria, Queen Of England (1819-1901) | ||||||||
THE mightiest moments pass uncalendared, And when the Absolute In backward Time pronounced the deedful word Whereby all life is stirred: 'Let one be born and throned whose mould shall constitute The norm of every royal-reckoned attribute,' No mortal knew or heard. But in due days the purposed Life outshone - Serene, sagacious, free; Her waxing seasons bloomed with deeds well done, And the world's heart was won ... Yet may the deed of hers most bright in eyes to be Lie hid from ours - as in the All-One's thought lay she - Till ripening years have run. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A SHROPSHIRE LAD: 1. 1887 by ALFRED EDWARD HOUSMAN THE WIDOW AT WINDSOR by RUDYARD KIPLING IDYLLS OF THE KING: DEDICATION by ALFRED TENNYSON IDYLLS OF THE KING: TO THE QUEEN by ALFRED TENNYSON TO THE QUEEN by ALFRED TENNYSON CROWNED AND WEDDED by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING THE YOUNG QUEEN by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING VICTORIA'S TEARS by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING VERSES ON THE QUEEN by THOMAS CAMPBELL AND THERE WAS A GREAT CALM' by THOMAS HARDY |
