BUT now the Sun, great Hyperion's child, Embark'd again upon his golden chalice, And westward steer'd, where far o'er ocean wild Sleeps the dim night in solitary valleys; Where dwell his mother, and his consort mild, And infant sons in his sequestered palace; Whilst onward through the laurel-shaded grove Mov'd with firm steps the hero son of Jove. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HEART'S FIRST WORD (2) by ISAAC ROSENBERG THE MARRIAGE OF HEAVEN AND HELL by WILLIAM BLAKE ONCE BY THE PACIFIC by ROBERT FROST AN AUTUMN NIGHT by JOHANNA AMBROSIUS MORTAL JEALOUSY by PHILIP AYRES THE SECOND DAYES LAMENTATION OF THE AFFECTIONATE SHEPHEARD by RICHARD BARNFIELD |
