THE CAMBRIAN IN AMERICA, by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: When the last flush of eve is dying Last Line: Look on his own blue hills and die! Alternate Author Name(s): Browne, Felicia Dorothea Subject(s): Wales; Welshmen; Welshwomen | ||||||||
WHEN the last flush of eve is dying On boundless lakes afar that shine: When winds amidst the palms are sighing, And fragrance breathes from every pine: When stars through cypress boughs are gleaming, And fire-flies wander bright and free, Still of thy harps, thy mountains dreaming, My thoughts, wild Cambria! dwell with thee! Alone o'er green savannas roving, Where some broad stream in silence flows, Or through the eternal forests moving, One only home my spirit knows! Sweet land, whence memory ne'er hath parted! To thee on sleep's light wing I fly; But happier could the weary-hearted Look on his own blue hills and die! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ANTICHRIST, OR THE REUNION OF CHRISTENDOM; AN ODE by GILBERT KEITH CHESTERTON WALES VISITATION by ALLEN GINSBERG WELSH INCIDENT by ROBERT RANKE GRAVES THE BARD; A PINDARIC ODE by THOMAS GRAY THE TRIUMPHS OF OWEN: A FRAGMENT by THOMAS GRAY WELSH LANDSCAPE by RONALD STUART THOMAS A DIRGE (1) by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS |
