I. O DREAMER, follow fast the Star Adown yon wild green West: Within the still green water-world They charm your place of rest. A white mermaiden softly coils The linkèd melody Shall draw you down like chains of pearl Beneath the lighted sea. What rumours of Eternity, What old old dreams and new! With coral and with ambergris The couch is flowered for you. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IKON: THE HARROWING OF HELL by DENISE LEVERTOV LEEK STREET by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR UNABLE TO FIND by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR THE AFTERLIFE: LETTER TO STEPHEN DOBYNS 3 by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE AFTERLIFE: LETTER TO STEPHEN DOBYNS: 1 by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE AFTERLIFE: LETTER TO STEPHEN DOBYNS: 2 by HAYDEN CARRUTH WRITING IN THE AFTERLIFE by BILLY COLLINS A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN TO HER LOVER by RACHEL ANNAND TAYLOR |
