THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERES, by LUIS DE LEON Poet's Biography First Line: Unto the highest spheres Last Line: In most sweet concord mingle and conspire. Alternate Author Name(s): Fray Luis | |||
Unto the highest sphere the soul may mount through all the nether skies in a new mode to hear music that never dies, source and first fountain of all harmonies. There she may understand how to the Master's touch the strings rebound who doth with dextrous hand prolong the sacred sound by which the eternal dome is held and bound. And as the numbers rhyme that span the spaces of that cosmic lyre responsive comes a chime, and choir and rival choir in most sweet concord mingle and conspire. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO A FAT LADY SEEN FROM THE TRAIN by FRANCES CROFTS DARWIN CORNFORD SOMETIME by MAY LOUISE RILEY SMITH STANZAS ON THE DEATH OF THE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE by BERNARD BARTON LORD EXMOUTH'S VICTORY AT ALGIERS, 1816 by JOHN GARDINER CALKINS BRAINARD AN ASSURANCE by NICHOLAS BRETON THE GLADNESS OF NATURE by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT BEHOLD THE HOUR (2) by ROBERT BURNS LINES ADDRESSED TO THE REV.
