A CRY FROM THE STALLS, by FREDERICK WILLIAM HENRY MYERS Poet's Biography First Line: Beautiful darling Last Line: End of the world! Alternate Author Name(s): Myers, Frederic Subject(s): Actors & Actresses | |||
BEAUTIFUL darling! Light of mine eyes! Gay as the starling Shoots thro' the skies; Swift as the swallow, and Soft as the dove; Hopeless to follow, and Maddening to love! Ah when she dances! and Ah when she sings! Glamour of glances, and Rush as of wings,— Trill as of coming birds Heard unaware,— Poise as of humming-birds Hanging in air! Starriest, youthfullest Flower of a face! Who shall the truthfullest Tell thee thy grace? They comprehend it not, They cannot know;— Use it not, spend it not, Spoil it not so! While the world calls to thee I sit apart, I from the stalls to thee Fling thee my heart! Bright eyes to measure it! Small hands to hold! Take it and treasure it! Lo, it is gold! Stage-plays have ending, and Love's ever new! Stage-love's pretending, and Now for the true! Fame's voice be dumb to thee! Fame's banner furled! Come with me, come to the End of the world! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MOVIE STAR IN THE PROJECTION ROOM by EVE MERRIAM DO YOU WANT TO BE EXCELLENT AN ACTRESS NO NOT THAT EITHER by ALICE NOTLEY HOMAGE TO SHARON STONE (1) by LYNN EMANUEL HOMAGE TO SHARON STONE (2) by LYNN EMANUEL POST-MODERNISM by JAMES GALVIN FILM AND FLESH by CLARENCE MAJOR FOR THE CHINESE ACTRESS, GARDENIA CHANG by KENNETH REXROTH GOODNIGHT, GRACIE by LLOYD SCHWARTZ ON A GRAVE AT GRINDELWALD by FREDERICK WILLIAM HENRY MYERS |
