O YE SWEET HEAVENS!, by THOMAS WILLIAM PARSONS Poet's Biography Last Line: As I, o pleiades! Your beauty scan? Subject(s): Stars | |||
O YE sweet heavens! your silence is to me More than all music. With what full delight I come down to my dwelling by the sea And look from out the lattice on the night! There the same glories burn serene and bright as in my boyhood; and if I am old Are they not also? Thus my spirit is bold To think perhaps we are coeval. Who Can tell when first my faculty began Of thought? Who knows but I was there with you When first your Maker's mind, celestial spheres, Contrived your motion ere I was a man? Else, wherefore do mine eyes thus fill with tears As I, O Pleiades! your beauty scan? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE EPIC STARS by ROBINSON JEFFERS HYMN TO THE STARS by GEORGE LAWRENCE ANDREWS CHRISTMAS TREE by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS CLEMATIS MONTANA by MADELINE DEFREES THE UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE by JAMES GALVIN TO SEE THE STARS IN DAYLIGHT by JAMES GALVIN ON A BUST OF DANTE by THOMAS WILLIAM PARSONS |
