OCTAVES IN AN OXFORD GARDEN: 9. NATURE'S CALMNESS, by ARTHUR W. UPSON Poet's Biography First Line: All things seem ordered sweetly in the calm Last Line: A nostril to the breeze-bestowèd balm. Subject(s): Nature; Oxford, England | ||||||||
ALL things seem ordered sweetly in the calm, Full measure of the even-marching years. This elm I love hath never fought with fears And sickening heartbreak; but the steady psalm Of one who trusts not vainly issues from His quiet depth such psalm as lifts and cheers Each tiny stalk or tender blade that rears A nostril to the breeze-bestowèd balm. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DUNS SCOTUS'S OXFORD by GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS OXFORD IN WAR-TIME by LAURENCE BINYON OXFORD CANAL by JAMES ELROY FLECKER ON THE PRE-REFORMATION CHURCHES ABOUT OXFORD by LOUISE IMOGEN GUINEY ODE TO THE LATE LORD MAYOR, ON PUBLICATION OF HIS 'VISIT TO OXFORD' by THOMAS HOOD BRUSSELS AND OXFORD by WILLIAM HURRELL MALLOCK OXFORD BELLS by SISTER MARIS STELLA SCENE FROM A PLAY CALLED 'MATRICULATION' by THOMAS MOORE A MOTIVE OUT OF LOHENGRIN by ARTHUR W.
