DREAMS, by CECIL FRANCES ALEXANDER Poet's Biography First Line: Beyond, beyond the mountain line Last Line: Lies somewhere o'er their edges. Alternate Author Name(s): Humprheys, Cecil Frances; Alexander, C. F., Mrs. Subject(s): Country Life | |||
Beyond, beyond the mountain line, The grey-stone and the boulder, Beyond the growth of dark green pine That crowns its western shoulder, There lies that fairy land of mine, Unseen of a beholder. Its fruits are all like rubies rare; Its streams are clear as glasses; There golden castles hang in air, And purple grapes in masses, And noble knights and ladies fair Come riding down the passes. Ah me! they say if I could stand Upon those mountain ledges, I should but see on either hand Plain fields and dusty hedges; And yet I know my fairy-land Lies somewhere o'er their edges. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE TARIFF by GEORGE HENRY BOKER A DRIVE IN THE COUNTRY by TED KOOSER THERE IS ALWAYS A LITTLE WIND by TED KOOSER COUNTRYSIDE by JOSEPHINE MILES THE POET GOES TO INDIANA by MARY OLIVER BURIAL OF MOSES by CECIL FRANCES ALEXANDER SUFFERED UNDER PONTIUS PILATE, WAS CRUCIFIED, DEAD, AND BURIED by CECIL FRANCES ALEXANDER |
